John Edmond - The Great White Tribe
G C G D G
G C G
Oh the great white tribe was three hundred thousand strong
G C G
Just a drop in the ocean of the world's mighty throng
C G D G
And under the sun of an African land
C G D G
Barefoot as children they walked in the sand
D G
But the dreams of a nation were split by the sword
D G
And the world rose against them with sanctions and war
C G D G
But they weathered the storm like twigs in the sea
C G D G
And were beached on the shores of the lands that are free
D G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
D C G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change
D G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
D C G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change
G C G
Oh the great white tribe are now all on the move
G C G
With nothing to lose and nothing to prove
C G D G
They have friends in the south who were steadfast and true
C G D G
Now they'll stand by those friends and they'll fight for them too
D G
And the twigs will make roots and the roots will be trees
D G
And they'll bear forth the fruits and we'll pray on our knees
C G D G
That the tribe will be spared and given the grace
C G D G
To give of themselves to the free-given race
D G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
D C G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change
D G
Oh the great white tribe, is nothing strange
D C G
Only scattered, never lost in the winds of change x3
