(G – C – Em – D)
(gentle strum, let the African sky open up)
(G) Over the ocean, far away,
(C) My roots are calling every day,
(D) The red dust roads, the golden sun,
(G) That’s the place where I come from.
(Em) I see my children’s laughter there,
(C) Hear the voices in the evening air,
(G) When the night draws near and the (D) work is done,
(G) My heart goes home to everyone.
(G) South Africa, you’re (C) under my skin,
(Em) Every mile apart can’t (D) keep me from within.
(G) Like the ocean waves that (C) rise and fall,
(Em) I hear your voice, I (D) feel your call.
(G) South Africa—(C) land I love,
(Em) You’re my home, my (D) forever song.
(G) Braais and laughter, skies of flame,
(C) Calling every exile’s name,
(D) The mountain’s shadow, the lion’s roar,
(G) That’s the land I’m longing for.
(Em) Even far on foreign ground,
(C) Your spirit’s always circling ‘round,
(G) And when I pray at the (D) close of day,
(G) I see your stars to light my way.
(G) South Africa, you’re (C) under my skin,
(Em) Every mile apart can’t (D) keep me from within.
(G) Like the ocean waves that (C) rise and fall,
(Em) I hear your voice, I (D) feel your call.
(G) South Africa—(C) land I love,
(Em) You’re my home, my (D) forever song.
(Em) No matter where the journey (C) takes me,
(G) I carry your fire in my (D) soul.
(Em) From the Karoo plains to (C) Cape Town waters,
(G) You’re the story that (D) makes me whole.
(band swells—crescendo into final chorus)
(G) South Africa, you’re (C) under my skin,
(Em) Every mile apart can’t (D) keep me from within.
(G) Like the ocean waves that (C) rise and fall,
(Em) I hear your voice, I (D) feel your call.
(G) South Africa—(C) land I love,
(Em) You’re my home, my (D) forever song.
(G) South Africa—
(C) My forever song.
(G – C – Em – D) (repeat softly, fade out like the ocean tide)
