Gimme Hope Jo'anna

Akkoorden in dit liedje

Well Jo(A)anna she runs a (D)country. She runs in (A)Durban and the (E)Transvaal
She makes a (A)few of her people (D)happy, oh She don't (A)care about the (E)rest at (A)all
She's got a (A)system they call (D)apartheid. It keeps a (A)brother in a subjec(E)tion
But maybe (A)pressure will make Jo(D)anna see how (A)everybody could a (E)live as (A)one

Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; (D)Hope, Joanna
Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; 'Fore the (E)morning come
Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; (D)Hope, Joanna
(A)Hope before the (E)morning (A)come

I hear she (A)makes all the golden (D)money to buy new (A)weapons, any shape of (E)guns
While every (A)mother in a black So(D)weto fears, the (A)killing of (E)another (A)son
Sneakin' (A)across all the neighbours' (D)borders, now and (A)again having little (E)fun
She doesn't (A) care if the fun and (D) games she play, Is dang(A)rous to (E)ev'ry (A) one

Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; (D)Hope, Joanna
Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; 'Fore the (E)morning come
Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; (D)Hope, Joanna
(A)Hope before the (E)morning (A)come

She's got sup(A)porters in high up (D)places, who turn their (A)heads to the city (E)sun
Jo'anna (A) give them the fancy (D)money, oh to (A)tempt any (E)one who'd (A)come
She even (A) knows how to swing (D)opinion,  In every (A)magazine and the jour(E)nals
For every (A) bad move that this Jo'(D) anna make, They got a (A) good expla(E)nat(A)ion

Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; (D)Hope, Joanna
Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; 'Fore the (E)morning come
Gimme (A)hope, Joanna; (D)Hope, Joanna
(A)Hope before the (E)morning (A)come

Even the (A)preacher who works for (D)Jesus, The Arch (A)bishop who's a peaceful (E)man
Together (A)say that the freedom (D)fighters, Will (A)overcome the (E)very (A)strong
I wanna (A)know if you're blind Jo'(D)anna. If you (A)wanna hear the sound of (E)drums
Can't you (A)see that the tide is (D)turning, oh don't make me (A)wait till the (E)morning (A)come
