Intro:

A5 B5 C5 D5 B5
Two years ago Ali Farka left his people
A5 B5 C5 D5 B5
Looking for wisdom
A5 B5 C5 D5 B5
And as soon as he'd found it he'd return To his people
A5


D5 C5 Bb5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
D5 C5 Bb5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
D5 C5 Ab5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
D5 C5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
B5 Bb5 A5
see who could be coming round to visit us

E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
I can see Farka coming
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
riding on his arabian horse, the
E5 C5/E F#5 A5 D5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
I can see our master come

D5 C5 Bb5
Still he's far away too far away for me to see, per-
D5 C5 Bb5
haps I was mistaken when I thought I saw him come
D5 C5 Bb5
Intuition tells me I could maybe be wrong, but
D5 C5
wait the silence's breaking, I go up on the mountain side, to
B5 Bb5 A5
see who could be coming round to visit us,
A5
there must be something big going on now

E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
I can see Farka coming
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
riding on his arabian horse, the
E5 C5/E F#5 A5 D5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
E5 C5/E F#m A5 D5
I can see our master come

C#5 D5 C#5 D5 C#5 D5
Party's on, the people gathers, Farka's brought his
Eb5 D5 C#5
wisdom to us, his wisdom to us

[Solo: Over verse]
