Toto
[Intro]
Eb F Bb Eb 4x

[Verse]
Gm         Eb         Ebmaj7/Bb     F
I can't forget you my little Mushanga
Gm        Eb         Ebmaj7/Bb     F
I keep a place in my heart for you
Gm           Eb         Ebmaj7/Bb         F
The days of waiting they keep getting longer
Gm          Eb        F
And not a thing I can do
Gm       Eb     Ebmaj7/Bb     F
I was a poet, a magazine writer
Gm        Eb       Ebmaj7/Bb    F
Sent to report on political views
Gm         Eb             Ebmaj7/Bb        F
It was by chance through a lens that I met you
Gm          Eb           F     G
A Capetown girl with no shoes

[Chorus]
C                 G
You were runnin' down the road
Am7         G/B   C
I was going your way
Dm7             F               C    F  C   G
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
     Dm7                     Bb
You smiled though you were suffering
    F    Bb F/A  Eb
I didn't understand, then

     Bb            F
You broke into my heart
  Gm                 F
I saw your eyes and then I knew
     Bb            F
You broke into my heart
          Gm                  F
Like the wind and rain that followed you
     Bb             F
You broke into my heart
         Gm            F
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
     Ab                Eb
You broke in from the start
            Eb     Bb      Ab
And all my tears belong to you

Eb    F   Bb Eb   Eb    F   Bb Eb
Mushanga, oh    , Mushanga, oh

[Verse]
Gm         Eb            Ebmaj7/Bb         F
I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Gm               Eb           Ebmaj7/Bb  F
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
Gm            Eb           Ebmaj7/Bb           F
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
Gm          Eb           Ebmaj7/Bb       F
The loss of lives mining white man's gold
Gm         Eb         Ebmaj7/Bb     F
I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Gm           Eb          Ebmaj7/Bb      F
Where all my stories are bought and sold
Gm         Eb         Ebmaj7/Bb     F
I know the city would surely be saddened
Gm         Eb            F    G
If what I knew could be told

[Chorus]
C                 G
You were runnin' down the road

I was going your way

And all my tears belong to you

So many letters and still no news
Gm          Eb          Ebmaj7/Bb              F

You know my heart is with you
