Well Jo'anna she runs a country
              A                  E
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
             A                  D
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
           A              E
She don't care about the rest at all
             A                   D
She's got a system they call apartheid
             A                E
It keeps a brother in a subjection
              A                      D
But maybe pressure can make Jo'anna see
       A               E       A
How everybody could a live as one

Hope before the morning com

A                              D
I hear she make all the golden money
           A                     E
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
            A                   D
While every mother in black Soweto fears
    A             E
The killing of another son
                A                   D
Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
        A                   E
Now and again having little fun
            A                             D
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
   A            E    A
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

A                               D
She's got supporters in high up places
               A                 E
Who turn their heads to the city sun
             A            D
Jo'anna give them the fancy money
      A            E
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
         A                  D
She even knows how to swing opinion
         A                    E
In every magazine and the journals
          A                          D
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes
     A          E      A
They got a good explanation

A                               D
Even the preacher who works for Jesus
               A                E
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
         A                    D
Together say that the freedom fighters
         A             E
Will overcome the very strong
        A                    D
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
       A                       E
If you wanna hear the sound of drums
          A                    D
Can't you see that the tide is turning
   A                           E       A
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
