C#m         B
I am anticipating
    F#m         E
My trip to Africa
C#m                    B
Oh I have always been waiting
F#m     E
Far to long

I 'm not going to soundcheck
There is to much to do
I'm not going to soundcheck
I'm far from you

Chorus:
C#m B    F#m  E
amazing, Africa
am I far from you

5 O'clock in the morning
My feet will touch the ground
5 O'clock in the morning
No no sound

We can take a safari
All around
Go see table top mountain
In Cape Town

Chorus:
amazing Africa
am I far from you
Better stay
