[Verse]
Em         C          G         D
I can't forget you my little Mushanga
Em        C           G        D
I keep a place in my heart for you
Em            C           G           D
The days of waiting they keep getting longer
Em          C        D
And not a thing I can do
Em       C       G        D
I was a poet, a magazine writer
Em         C         G       D
Sent to report on political views
Em         C               G         D
It was by chance through a lens that I met you
Em          C            D     E
A Capetown girl with no shoes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A                 C#m
You were runnin' down the road
F#m          E
I was going your way
Bm             F#               A          E
I stopped and turned around to lend you my hand
     B7                     Em
You smiled though you were suffering
D               C
I didn't understand

[Chorus]
     G            D
You broke into my heart
  Em                 C
I saw your eyes and then I knew
     G            D
You broke into my heart
          Em                  C
Like the wind and rain that followed you
     G             D
You broke into my heart
         Em            C
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
    F                  E
You broke in from the start
           Am               C
And all my tears belong to you
 
C     D     G    C
Mushanga, oh oh oh,
C     D     G    C
Mushanga, oh oh oh,
 
 
[Verse]
Em         C             G             D
I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Em               C            G     D
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
Em            C            G               D
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
Em          C             D
The loss of lives mining white man's gold
Em         C          G        D
I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Em           C           G         D
Where all my stories are bought and sold
Em         C          G        D
I know the city would surely be saddened
Em         C            D    E
If what I knew could be told

Like the wind and rain that followed you
     G             D
You broke into my heart
         Em            C
Had the Lord above forgotten you?

It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
Em       C           G       D
So many letters and still no news
Em          C             G                D
I hope you find all the things that you're after
Em           C            D    E
You know my heart is with you
