Intro:

A5            B5          C5               D5     B5
  Two years ago Ali Farka left his people
A5            B5          C5               D5     B5
  Looking for  wisdom
A5                     B5              C5     D5       B5
  And as soon as he'd  found it he'd return     To his people
A5


D5                    C5                 Bb5
Master has been long away from us on his trip
D5                      C5                   Bb5
None of us have heard a word from him in two years
D5                  C5                   Ab5
Everyone is waiting for the day of his return, but
D5                           C5
wait the silence's breaking, I climb up in the nearest tree to
B5                               Bb5   A5
see who could be coming round to visit us

E5       C5/E     F#m    A5 D5
I    can see      Farka  coming
E5       C5/E    F#m    A5    D5
riding   on his arabian horse,  the
E5       C5/E          F#5   A5 D5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
E5       C5/E    F#m    A5   D5
I    can see our master come

D5                      C5                 Bb5
Still he's far away too far away for me to see, per-
D5                  C5                       Bb5
haps I was mistaken when I thought I saw him come
D5                 C5               Bb5
Intuition tells me I could maybe be wrong, but
D5                           C5
wait the silence's breaking, I go up on the mountain side, to
B5                               Bb5   A5
see who could be coming round to visit us,
A5
there must be something big going on now

E5       C5/E     F#m    A5 D5
I    can see      Farka  coming
E5       C5/E    F#m    A5    D5
riding   on his arabian horse,  the
E5       C5/E          F#5   A5 D5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
E5       C5/E    F#m    A5   D5
I    can see our master come

C#5         D5  C#5             D5 C#5             D5
Party's on, the people gathers,    Farka's brought his
Eb5                      D5 C#5
wisdom to us, his wisdom to us

E5       C5/E     F#m    A5 D5
I    can see      Farka  coming
E5       C5/E    F#m    A5    D5
riding   on his arabian horse,  the
E5       C5/E          F#5   A5 D5
shade of him, it can't be mistaken
E5       C5/E    F#m    A5   D5
I    can see our master come
