[Verse 1]
[D]Ayee oko, ayoko
Ayee oko, ayoko
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Ayee oko, ayee oko
Ayee oko
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der

[Verse 3]
The current [G]swings
The water [Gm]sings
A [G]river [D]rhyme
[Bm]For

[Verse 4]
[D]life is a burden [Bm]of labor[D]
[F#]When[Bm] each bends his
back with his [E]neighbor
So, each [F#]for all

[Verse 5]
[D]
We stand or fall
And all for [G]each
Until we [Gm]reach
The [A]journeys [D]end

[Verse 6]
[D]Ayee oko,
ayee oko

[Verse 7]
Ayee oko, ayee oko, ayee oko
[D]Sandy the strong
[A]Sandy the wise
[D]Righter of wrong
[A]Hater of lies
[Bm]Laughed as he [A]fought
[G]Worked as he [F#m]played
[E]As he [D]has [E]taught
[D]Let it be made

[Verse 8]
Away [D]you go
Ayega der
And make it so
Ayega der
Together all
[G]The paddles fall
In [A]tune and [D]time

[Verse 9]
So [D]look alive
Ayega der
And dip and thrive
Ayega der
The current [G]swings
The water [Gm]sings
A [A]river [D]rhyme

[Verse 10]
For [D]light is the burden of [Bm]labor[D]
When [Bm]each bends his
back with his [E]neighbor
[F#]So each for

[Verse 11]
[D]all
We stand or fall
And all for [G]each
Until we [Gm]reach
[A]The journeys end

[Verse 12]
[D]Oh- oh, oh- oh
Oh- oh, oh- oh
Oh- oh, oh- oh, oh,
[Bm]oh, [D]oh, oh, oh-[G][D]
ooh
