Eddy Grant, Gimme hope, Jo'anna (1988)
^{Key: :[Bb] (w: Eddy Grant)}

INTRO: [over VERSE]

VERSE 1:
Well Jo'-[Bb]-anna she runs a [Eb] country
She runs in [Bb] Durban and the Trans-[F]-vaal
She makes a [Bb] few of her people [Eb] happy, oh
She don't [Bb] care about the [F] rest at [Bb] all

VERSE 2:
She's got a [Bb] system they call a-[Eb]-partheid
It keeps a [Bb] brother in a subject-[F]-ion
But maybe [Bb] pressure can make Jo'-[Eb]-anna see
How every-[Bb]-body could a [F] live as [Bb] one

CHORUS:
Gimme [Bb] hope Jo'anna, [Eb] hope Jo'anna
Gimme [Bb] hope Jo'anna, before the [F] morning come
Gimme [Bb] hope Jo'anna, [Eb] hope Jo'anna
[Bb] Hope before the [F] morning [Bb] come

VERSE 3:
I hear she [Bb] make all the golden [Eb] money
To buy new [Bb] weapons, any shape of [F] guns
While every [Bb] mother in black So-[Eb]-weto fears
The [Bb] killing of an-[F]-other [Bb] son

VERSE 4:
Sneakin' a-[Bb]-cross all the neighbours [Eb] borders
Now and a-[Bb]-gain having little [F] fun
She doesn't [Bb] care if the fun and [Eb] games she play
Is [Bb] dang'rous to [F] ev'ry-[Bb]-one

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
