Tuning: standard (eBGDAE)
CAPO 1st fret
The other version is pretty much spot on, but stops halfway through, so I made
this one. Chords marked with a dot (.) are for half a bar only.
Intro: A D A E | A D A. E. A
Well Jo'[A]anna she runs a [D]country
She runs in [A]Durban and the [E]Transvaal
She makes a [A]few of her people [D]happy, oh
A. E. A
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a [A]system they call [D]apartheid
It keeps a [A]brother in a subjec[E]tion
But maybe [A]pressure will make Jo[D]'anna see
A. E. A
How everybody could a live as one
(chorus:)
Gimme [A]hope, Jo'anna;[D] Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme [A]hope, Jo'anna; 'Fore the [E]morning come
Gimme [A]hope, Jo'anna;[D] Hope, Jo'anna
A. E. A
Hope before the morning come
I hear she [A]makes all the golden [D]money
To buy new [A]weapons, any shape of [E]guns
While every [A]mother in a black So[D]weto fears
A. E. A
The killing of another son
Sneakin' a[A]cross all the neighbours' [D]borders
Now and a[A]gain having little [E]fun
She doesn't [A]care if the fun and [D]games she play
A. E. A
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone
(chorus)
(interlude: repeat intro)
She's got sup[A]porters in high up [D]places
Who turn their [A]heads to the city [E]sun
Jo'anna [A]give them the fancy [D]money
A. E. A
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
She even [A]knows how to swing o[D]pinion
In every [A]magazine and the jour[E]nals
For every [A]bad move that this Jo'[D]anna make -
A. E. A
They got a good explana-tion
(chorus)
Even the [A]preacher who works for [D]Jesus
The Arch[A]bishop who's a peaceful [E]man
Together [A]say that the freedom [D]fighters
A. E. A
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna [A]know if you're blind Jo'[D]anna
If you [A]wanna hear the sound of [E]drums
Can't you [A]see that the tide is [D]turning -
A. E. A
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
(chorus x2)
