[Intro 1]
[G][F][G]
[F]
[G]There's a

[Verse 1]
place [D]called [G]Africa,
far, far [F]away[G]
There's a place [D]called [G]Africa,
many miles away
[C]Mama says that's where I'm from,
[G]and I kno[C]w she can't be wrong
[G]Take me back to Africa,
Mama how did I get [F]here?[G][F]
She said [G]once upon a [D]time [G]my son
they stowed us on a ship
We had to work and slave each day
the boss he took our pay
But [C]a brighter sun has dawned today
A vacant stop has [G]come [C]what may
A [G]time shall come for you and I
She bowed her head and [F]cried[G]
Ooh, Mama,
please don't [F]cry[G][F][G][F]
[G]There's a place [D]called [G]Africa,
far, far [F]away[G]
There's a place [D]called [G]Africa,
many miles away
[C]A brighter sun has dawned today,
and they can stop us [G]come [C]what may
A [G]time shall come for you and I,
she bowed her head and [F]cried[G][F]
[G]There's a place called Africa
far, far [F]away
[G]There's a place called Africa
many miles [F]away
