[G][C][G][D][G][Am][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Well Jo'anna [G]she
runs a coun[C]try
She runs in [G]Durban and the Transvaal
[D]She makes a few[G] of her
people [C]happy, oh
She don't [G]care about the [D]rest at [G]all
She's got a system they call [C]apartheid
It keeps a [G]brother in a subjection
[D]But maybe pre[G]ssure can
make [C]Jo'anna see
How every[G]body could a [D]live as [G]one

[Verse 2]
Gimme hope, [G]Jo'anna[C]
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme [G]hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the [D]morning come
Gimme [G]hope, [C]Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
[G]Hope before the [D]morning [G]come

[Verse 3]
I hear she make all the [G]golden [C]money
To buy new [G]weapons,
any shape of gun[D]s
While every [G]mother in black
[C]Soweto fears
[G]The killing of an[D]other [G]son
Sneakin' across all the
neighbor[C]s' borders
Now and [G]again having little fun
[D]She doesn't car[G]e if the fun
and games [C]she play
Is [G]dangerous to [D]everyone
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]She's got supporters in high [C]up places
Who turn their [G]heads to the city sun
[D]Jo'anna giv[G]e them the fancy mon[C]ey
Oh to [G]tempt any[D]one who'd [G]come
She even knows how to swing [C]opinion
In every [G]magazine and the journals
[D]For every bad[G] move that
this [C]Jo'anna makes
They got a [G]good explan[D]ation
[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Even
the preacher who works [C]for Jesus
The Arch[G]bishop who's
a peaceful [D]man
Together [G]say that the freedom [C]fighters
Will [G]overcome [D]the very [G]strong
I want to know if you're blind Jo'an[C]na
If you [G]want to hear the
sound of drum[D]s
Can't you [G]see that the tide is turn[C]ing
Oh don't make [G]me wait [D]till the [G]morning[C][G][D][G][C]
