Intro and forever: C// F// C// G// (x4)

C F C G C F C G Jo-seph’s face was black as the night; C F C G C F C G the pale yellow moon shown in his eyes C F C G C F C G His path was marked by the stars in the Southern Hemisphere C F C G C F C G And he walked his days under African skies.

C F C G C F C G This is the the story of how we be-gin to re-member

This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein

After the dream of falling and calling your name out,

These are the roots of rhythm, and the roots of rhythm remain.

In early memory, mission music was ringing ‘round my nursery door; I said, “Take this child, Lord, from Tucson, Arizona, Give her the wings to fly through harmony and she won’t C bother you no more.”

(chorus) F Ka-oomba, oomba, oomba whoa–oh-oh Ka-oomba, oomba, oomba whoa–oh-oh Ka-oomba, oomba, oomba whoa–oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ka-oomba, oomba, oomba whoa–oh-oh G
