Tuning: standard (eBGDAE) 

CAPO 1st fret

The other version is pretty much spot on, but stops halfway through, so I made 
this one. Chords marked with a dot (.) are for half a bar only.

Intro: A5 D5 A5 E5  A5 D5 A. E. A5

        A5               D5
Well Jo'anna she runs a country
            A5              E5
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
            A5                 D5
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
          A.             E.      A5
She don't care about the rest at all

            A5                D5
She's got a system they call apartheid
           A5                  E5
It keeps a brother in a subjection
          A5                    D5
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
    A.                E.      A5
How everybody could a live as one


[chorus:]
      A5             D5
Gimme hope, Jo'anna; Hope, Jo'anna
      A5                        E5
Gimme hope, Jo'anna; 'Fore the morning come
      A5             D5
Gimme hope, Jo'anna; Hope, Jo'anna
A.              E.      A5
Hope before the morning come


           A5                    D5  
I hear she makes all the golden money
           A5                     E5
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
            A5                   D5  
While every mother in a black Soweto fears
    A.          E.     A5
The killing of another son

          A5                         D5
Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
         A5                  E5
Now and again having little fun
            A5                   D5
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
        A.      E.   A5
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone


[chorus]

[interlude: repeat intro]

             A5                  D5
She's got supporters in high up places
               A5                 E5
Who turn their heads to the city sun
        A5                   D5
Jo'anna give them the fancy money
      A.       E.        A5
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come

         A5                   D5
She even knows how to swing opinion
         A5                    E5
In every magazine and the journals
          A5                     D5
For every bad move that this Jo'anna make -
           A.        E.  A5
They got a good explana-tion


[chorus]

         A5                      D5
Even the preacher who works for Jesus
        A5                       E5
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
         A5                    D5
Together say that the freedom fighters
     A.           E.   A5
Will overcome the very strong

        A5                       D5
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
       A5                       E5
If you wanna hear the sound of drums
          A5                    D5
Can't you see that the tide is turning -
                 A.            E.      A5
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

[chorus x2]
