Verse 1:
G              Em
 All twinklin' lee
              G                             Em
Can't see the right rose when the streams a-bate
    G             Em
The old slave men might grind slow
              C         G
But it grinds fine, yeah
Chorus 1:
        G                    Em
African herbsman, why linger on?
            G                          Em
Just concen-trate, 'cause heaven lives on
            G                          Em
Greet-I-eth slave men will look with a scorn
                    C      D                          G    Em

I'm takin' il-lusion on the edge of my mind
           G                   Em
I'm takin' losers down thru my life
             C     D                                G    Em

      G               Em
In re-membrance of to-day
           G              Em
Brings sad feelings of to-morrow
                                          C
(Yes, how quick they have to ...) Lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray to you
