Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Biko Drum
| G |
| And | they went home on an Easter road |
| C | G |
| On a | silent night | tryin' not to show |
| F | G |
| Who goes where and who | goes when |
| Am | F | G |
| Thinkin' | some day soon they'll | get it | back again |
From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold
Little boy blue can't be sold
Under tin roof and a plastic wall
Thinkin' someday soon we're goin' to leave it all
| C | G | Am |
| And | the renegades sing | all the | renegade songs |
| F | G |
| And the ones who | know hope | they're doin' wrong |
| F | G |
| The | blacks and the coloreds | play the Biko Drum |
| F | G | Am | G |
| The | blacks and the colou | red | play the | biko drum |
Listen to the Biko Drum
Transvaal Kids on a Transvaal day
Little by little the show the way
To a city of dreams and solid ground
Thinkin' someday soon we're gonna come around
Steve he's livin' in a prison cell
All the friends that know hope he's doin' well
Down here they listen to the Biko Drum
Down here they listen to the songs he sung
Nelson listen to the people sing
Nelson Mandela the people's king
Twenty-five years in a white man's jail
Twenty-five years we couldn't make him say
