Under African Skies

Paul Simon
capo: 3rd fret
play: C
key: Eb
 
For chords in original key, transpose +3 (and "use flats").
 
There is a main lick or riff, which is played as single notes on an
electric guitar. Using a capo, it is possible to integrate this lick
into the accompaniment. Here’s a suggestion:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Jo-oseph's face was black as night
|||
And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
|||
And he walked his days under African skies
 
[Chorus]
|||
This is the story of how we begin to remember
|||
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
|||
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
|||
These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
In early memory
Mission mu--sic
|||
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
I said take this child, Lord
From Tucson, Arizona
Page 21/30
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
And she won't bother you no more
 
[Chorus]
|||
This is the story of how we begin to remember
|||
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
|||
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
|||
These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain
 
[Middle 8]
|||
Ta um ba um ba um ba oh oh oh
|||
Ta um ba um ba um ba oh oh oh
|||
Ta um ba um ba um ba oh oh oh oh oh oh
|||
Ta um ba um ba um ba oh oh oh
 
[Verse 3]
Jo-oseph's face was black as night
|||
And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
|||
And he walked the length of his days under African skies
