[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
He’s had bicycles and sons
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
He’s had salted fish and dark rum
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Now his days are almost done
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
In the Lagos slums
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
He was a farmer for a while
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Growin’ plantains by the coastline
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
And some said he had a smile
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Like a movie star
[Chorus]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah, ah ah
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah, ah ah
[Verse 3]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Met his wife one Friday night
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
At a dance hall near the train tracks
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
And his heart soared like a kite
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
In the evening light
[Verse 4]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Worked the oil fields once
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Saved some money for his family
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Built a house near Eden’s Point
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Where they raised their boys
[Chorus]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah, ah ah
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
La ah, ah ah
[Verse 5]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
He says it’s hard to be a man
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Who works and still can’t feed his children
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
But he does the best he can
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
In the New World Plan
[Bridge]
N.C.
We’re all
Bm7 Em
Forgotten
Bm7 Em Cmaj7
This road
Bm7 Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Leads nowhere
[Outro]
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
We’re all
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
Forgotten
Em Cmaj7 Bm7
This road
Em Cmaj7 Bm7 Em
Leads nowhere
