[Verse 1]
[Am]Tell St.
Peter at Africa's Gate
I'm coming [G]home, though I may be [Am]late
Tell them it's a long, long haul
The bottle [G]is fixed,
but I'm standing [Am]tall
Maybe it's why I took so long
And [G]he don't want to know
how I'm getting [Am]along
Tell [G]him that I'm doing well,
it's [Am]why I'm living in h[G]ell
I'm a true -born [Am]African
Maybe he [C]think I'm lost in a foreign [Am]land
And cease to be a natural African
Tell [G]him that I'm doing well
in [Am]spite of living in hell
Tell him that I'm coming
home to hell to feel my own
[G]I'm a true -born African,[Am]
can't you see that's what
I [G]am[Am][G][Am]
May[G]be it's why I took so [Am]long
And [G]he don't want to know
how I'm [Am]along
Maybe he [C]thinks I'm lost
in a foreign [Am]land
And cease to be a natural african
Tell [G]him that I'm doing well
in [Am]spite I'm living in hell
Tell him that I'm coming home
to hell to build my own
[G]I'm a true -born African,[Am]

[Outro 1]
can't you see that's what I am?
