African Child Tabulatur von Infant Sorrow (für Baryton)

Em  
I have crossed the mystic desert
        G
To snap pictures of the poor
       C
I've invited them to brunch
         Am
Let them crash out on my floor


         Em
There's sunshine in my veins
     G
My kitchen's filled with flies
    C
I'm crying out in vain
        Am     C       D
Like a little African child


G          C
Trapped in me 
           Am      D
There's an African child
G          C
Trapped in me
          Am             C                Em
There's a little African child trapped in me


Em
All these rooms are cluttered 
         G
With the spoils of my fame
   C
My doors and windows shuttered
       Am                       
I just can't keep out the rain


        Em
There's sunshine down in hell
   G
My kitchen's filled with flies
    C
I'm crying out for help
       Am     C       D
Like a little African child


G          C
Trapped in me 
           Am      D
There's an African child
G          C
Trapped in me
          Am             C                Em
There's a little African child trapped in me


Em
All of these blowjobs
   G
In limousines
Em
What do they matter
     G
What do they mean
       Am             C                Em
To the little African child trapped in me



[African chant]


Am      D
African child
G          C
Trapped in me
           Am      D
There's an African child
G          C
Trapped in me
          Am             C                Em
There's a little African child trapped in me
          Am             C                Em
There's a little African child trapped in me
          Am             C
There's a little African child 
           Em
Trapped in me
