[Verse]
[Gm]I can't for[Eb]get you my [Ebmaj7/Bb]little Mushang[F]a
[Gm]I keep a p[Eb]lace in my [Ebmaj7/Bb]heart for you[F]
[Gm]The days of w[Eb]aiting they[Ebmaj7/Bb] keep getting long[F]er
[Gm]And not a th[Eb]ing I can [F]do
[Gm]I was a p[Eb]oet, a [Ebmaj7/Bb]magazine write[F]r
[Gm]Sent to re[Eb]port on p[Ebmaj7/Bb]olitical view[F]s
[Gm]It was by c[Eb]hance through a[Ebmaj7/Bb] lens that I met [F]you
[Gm]A Capetown g[Eb]irl with no s[F]hoes[G]
[Chorus]
[C]You were runnin' d[G]own the road
[Am7]I was going [G/B]your w[C]ay
[Dm7]I stopped and tu[F]rned around to l[C]ent y[F]ou [C]my h[G]and
You s[Dm7]miled though you were su[Bb]ffering
I di[F]dn't [Bb]und[F/A]ersta[Eb]nd, then
You b[Bb]roke into my h[F]eart
I [Gm]saw your eyes and t[F]hen I knew
You b[Bb]roke into my h[F]eart
Like the w[Gm]ind and rain that fo[F]llowed you
You b[Bb]roke into my he[F]art
Had the L[Gm]ord above forg[F]otten you?
You b[Ab]roke in from the s[Eb]tart
And all my t[Eb]ears be[Bb]long to [Ab]you
[Eb]Mushan[F]ga, [Bb]oh [Eb] , [Eb]Mushan[F]ga, [Bb]oh[Eb]
[Verse]
[Gm]I sat and w[Eb]atched as she [Ebmaj7/Bb]danced by the fire[F]s
[Gm]Through ancient s[Eb]ongs did the [Ebmaj7/Bb]tale unfold[F]
[Gm]They sang of d[Eb]iamonds that [Ebmaj7/Bb]came from their moun[F]tains
[Gm]The loss of [Eb]lives mining [Ebmaj7/Bb]white man's gold[F]
[Gm]I had to le[Eb]ave and go [Ebmaj7/Bb]back to Manhat[F]tan
[Gm]Where all my [Eb]stories are [Ebmaj7/Bb]bought and sold[F]
[Gm]I know the [Eb]city would [Ebmaj7/Bb]surely be sadd[F]ened
[Gm]If what I k[Eb]new could be t[F]old[G]
[Chorus]

[Gm]It's been so l[Eb]ong since I [Ebmaj7/Bb]last heard your laug[F]hter
[Gm]So many l[Eb]etters and [Ebmaj7/Bb]still no news[F]
[Gm]I hope you f[Eb]ind all the [Ebmaj7/Bb]things that you're afte[F]r
