Dreams Of Leaving Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Someone stopped the clock
when we should have started early
If we miss the morning meeting our
lives will be in danger
Someone's trying to stop us,
there is someone in our party
It is someone with a grudge and they
won't let us reach the border

[Verse 2]
[D]Our lives are in his hands,
we pay with Krugerrands
The currency of pain to help us leaving
While back in our homeland the
ones who make a stand

[Interlude 1]
Are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again

[Eb]I felt

[Verse 3]
[D]I had to come here,
[Eb]I th[Fm]ought things would be better
The situation's changed but [D]I
find I'm still resented
Someone wants my job it is someone
in this building
Someone's spreading ru[G]mors
[D]an d I don't feel I can stay here

[Verse 4]
I [D]think I'm going north and
[G]now's the time to leave
The people there [D]they [G]say are
good to [D]strangers
And if I do my best and [G]try to settle in
I'm sure I can be just like
someone's [D]neighbor

[Verse 5]
[D]I'm [D]sur[G]e I can be just like
someone's [G]neighbor
