The Old Zimbabwe Ghost - John Edmond
G D G D
G Em C D
Many tales I've heard of the soap stone bird, so I went along to see,
G Em C D
The acropolis and the passages and the temple masonry
C D G Em
But it all looked so familiar, like I've been there once before
C G C D G
I felt my mind slipping back in time and when I saw him then I knew for sure
G D G D
G Em C D
He came down the stairs in his courtiers and a soldier left and right
G Em C D
And his burnished golden bangles gave off a mystic kind of light
C D G Em
His eyes were black and they took me back as they bored into my soul
C G C D G
And then the smile and we spoke a while of the medieval days of old
Chorus:
C D G Em C D
And the peace of mind and the quietness were the things I loved the most
C G C D G
As I sat reminiscing with the old Zimbabwe Ghost
G D G D
G Em C D
Those were the days my son we were rich my son Independent wise and free
G Em C D
form horizon to horizon our riches held the key
C D G Em
But then they came in love sweet name to our bastion in the sky
C G C D G
And just like the ways of the world today for the cause of greed to die
Chorus:
C D G Em C D
And the peace of mind and the quietness were the things I loved the most
C G C D G
As I sat reminiscing with the old Zimbabwe Ghost
G D G D
G Em C D
Then suddenly the reality of the day was all around
G Em C D
And the footprints were the ancient stood were fading in ground
C D G Em
I was misty eyed as again I died and the people stopped to stare
C G C D G
As I watched my host the Zimbabwe Ghost go melting in the air
Chorus X 2
