BJH - African Nights
from Welcome To The Show


[F#]Driving down the road
Under the [F#]southern light
[F#]Looking back to see
Where we've come [F#]from
[B]As we watched the sun go down
[B]Rain it fell like diamonds
From [F#]Kimberley mines [F#]

[F#]On the road to Jo'burg
With the [F#]dying light
[F#]Farewell Durban
City of Na[F#]tal
[B]Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts
[B]As we crossed the borderline
And [F#]into Transvaal [F#]

[C#] I saw the [B]sun go down
[C#]Under the southern [F#]skies
[C#] Over and [B]over
I'll [B]always remember
Those [B]beautiful African [F#]nights [F#]

[F#]In the old VW
We'd [F#]count the miles
We [F#]travelled with a friend
Whose name was [F#]Farr
The [B]stories that he told us
Talked of [B]faces
Times and places
Sang and [F#]played his guitar [F#]

[F#]Driving down the road
We hear the [F#]morning rise
[F#]Leaving all the past
So far be[F#]hind
The [B]sound man played the Eagles
As we [B]listen
"Take It Easy"
Echoes [F#]on through our lives [F#]

[C#] I saw the [B]sun go down
[C#]Under the southern [F#]skies
[C#] Over and [B]over
I'll [B]always remember
I [B]still hear them call
No [B]matter how far
Those [B]beautiful African [F#]nights [F#]
