[Verse 1]
 C          F      G
Copper sun sinking low
C                 F      G
Scatterlings and fugitives
 C     F         F G   C
Hooded eyes and weary brows
 C    G            F
Seek refuge in the night
 
 
[Chorus]
  C          F           G    F     G F
They are the scatterlings of Africa
 F            G
Each uprooted one
  C    F    G    F        G F
On the road to Phelamanga
F               G
Where the world began
  C         F           G    F    G F
I love the scatterlings of Africa
F              G
Each and every one
  C          F           G    F     G F
In their hearts a burning hunger
F                  G
Beneath the copper sun

[Verse 2]
C            F      G
Broken wall, bicycle wheel
  C          F      G
African sun forging steel, singing
C                 F      G
Magic machine cannot match
C           F      G
Human being human being
F       G
African idea

African idea
C        F      G
Make the future clear

Make the future clear

They are the scatterlings of Africa

Each uprooted one
C      F       G     F
On the road to Phelamanga

Beneath the copper sun
C            F           G  F     F G
And for the scatterlings of Africa

The journey has begun

Future find their hungry eyes
 F         G
Beneath the copper sun
 
 
[Verse 3]
 C      F      G    F
Ancient bones from Olduvai
 C            F    G     F
Echoes of the very first cry
 C            F     G    F
"Who made me, here and why? --
C             F      G
Beneath this copper sun."
C        F    G      F
Now they lie deeply buried
C              G   A
In the dust of Olduvai
 
 
[Chorus]
 C          F           G    F     G F
And we are scatterlings of Africa
F            G
Both you and I
C             F    G   F
We are on the road to Phelamanga
 F         G
Beneath a copper sky
 C          F      G        A
And we are scatterlings of Africa
F                    G
On a journey to the stars
 C           F     G
Far below we leave forever
 C            G
Dreams of what we were
 
 
[Outro]
 C        G         A
Hawu beke Mama-ye! Mama-ye!
F       G
In the beginning
 C           F      G
Beneath the copper sky
 C  F    G
Ancient bones
F        G       C
In the dust of Olduvai
 F           G          C
Who made us, here, and why?
  C
Remember!
 F              G A C
Scatterlings of Africa
