Capo 5th fret
[Verse 1]
D
Injili, Injili
C G
Can I sing with you
A C G
'Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's got to do
D
But first I'm going back
C G
To the [?]
A
To find the mission
C G
And help him with his luck
[Chorus]
D C G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A C G
With only this song to tell you how he feels
D C G
But to get there he will need a helping hand
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Injili, Injili
We will sing with you
Just like the T.V
In Mr. Tembo's room
Off the emphatic night
He checked in on his own
At Mkombozi Inn and
Made it his home
[Chorus]
D C G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A C G
With only this song to tell you how he feels
D C G
But to get there he will need a helping hand
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
Injili, Injili
We will sing to you
'Bout Mr. Tembo
And what he's going through
Gets up early
While you are still in bed
Mr. Tembo, green blanket by his head
[Chorus]
D C G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A C G
With only this song to tell you how he feels
D C G
But to get there he will need a helping hand
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
[Interlude]
Hey, you keep those lions off the front of the boat!
Good god, man! Have you some cotton in your ears?!
I'm trying to run this expedition in a decent manner!
The 264 is gulf, bungalow, styles, canals, cows, haybells
Telegraph wires, pylon power
Farmhouse over chimneys still used
Stone, satellites, football, pictures, favorite flags, and lots of dogs
Neon cross on top of a block of slates on a church, not as usual
[Chorus]
D C G
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
A C G
With only this song to tell you how he feels
D C G
But to get there he will need a helping hand
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
A C G
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
