E5  
I have crossed the mystic desert
        G5
To snap pictures of the poor
       C5
I've invited them to brunch
         A5
Let them crash out on my floor


         E5
There's sunshine in my veins
     G5
My kitchen's filled with flies
    C5
I'm crying out in vain
        A5     C5       D5
Like a little African child


G5          C5
Trapped in me 
           A5      D5
There's an African child
G5          C5
Trapped in me
          A5             C5                E5
There's a little African child trapped in me


E5
All these rooms are cluttered 
         G5
With the spoils of my fame
   C5
My doors and windows shuttered
       A5                       
I just can't keep out the rain


        E5
There's sunshine down in hell
   G5
My kitchen's filled with flies
    C5
I'm crying out for help
       A5     C5       D5
Like a little African child


G5          C5
Trapped in me 
           A5      D5
There's an African child
G5          C5
Trapped in me
          A5             C5                E5
There's a little African child trapped in me


E5
All of these blowjobs
   G5
In limousines
E5
What do they matter
     G5
What do they mean
       A5             C5                E5
To the little African child trapped in me



[African chant]


A5      D5
African child
G5          C5
Trapped in me
           A5      D5
There's an African child
G5          C5
Trapped in me
          A5             C5                E5
There's a little African child trapped in me
          A5             C5                E5
There's a little African child trapped in me
          A5             C5
There's a little African child 
           E5
Trapped in me
