[Verse 1]
[Verse [F#m]1:]
I can't for[D]get you my
[F#m]little Mushanga
I keep [D]a place in my heart [F#m]for yo[E]u
[F#m]The days of waitin[D]g they
keep get[F#m]ting longer
And not a thing I [D]can [E]do
[F#m]I was a poet[D], a maga[F#m]zine writer
Sent to re[D]port on [F#m]political [E]views
[F#m]It was by cha[D]nce through
a lens [F#m]that I met you
A Capetown girl with no [E]shoes[C#m][F#]
[B]Chorus: You

[Verse 2]
were runnin' [D#m]down the road
I was [F#]going your [G#]way
[C#m]I stopped and turned[G#] around
to [B]lent you my [F#]hand
You [C#]smiled though you were [F#m]suffering
I didn't [D]understand, then

[Verse 3]
[D]
[A]You broke into my [E]heart
I [F#m]saw your eyes and th[C#m]en I knew
You [A]broke into my [E]heart
Like the [F#m]wind and rain that f[C#m]ollowed you
You [A]broke into my [E]heart
Had the [F#m]Lord above forg[C#m]otten you?
You [G]broke in from the start
[F#]And all my tears[Bm] belong
to [D]you
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[E]
[F#m]Mush a[D]nga,
[E]oh,[F#m] Mushang[D]a, oh

[Verse 5]
[D][F#m]
[Verse 2:]
I sat and [D]watched as she
danced [F#m]by the fires
Through ancient [D]songs did the tale [F#m]unfold
[E]The[F#m]y sang of diamonds [D]that
came [F#m]from their mountains
The loss of [D]lives min[F#m]ing
[E]white man's gold
[F#m]I

[Verse 6]
had to [D]leave and go
back to [F#m]Manhattan
Where all [D]my stories are bought [F#m]and so[E]ld
[F#m]I know the city[D]
would surely [F#m]be saddened
If what I knew could [E]be told

[Verse 3:] It's been so [D]long since I

[Verse 8]
[D]
last [F#m]heard your laughter
So many [D]letters and still [F#m]no new[E]s
[F#m]I hope you find a[D]ll the things
that you're [F#m]after
You know my heart is [E]with [F#]you

[Verse 9]
[B]You were runnin' dow[Ebm]n the road
[Abm]I was going your w[F#]ay[Ab]

I didn't un[D]derstand, [A]then
You broke into my [E]heart I

[Verse 10]
[F#m]
saw your eyes and [C#m]then I knew
You [A]broke into my [E]heart
Like the [F#m]wind and rain that f[C#m]ollowed you
You [A]broke into my [E]heart
Had the [F#m]Lord above forg[C#m]otten you?
You [A]broke into my [E]heart
I [F#m]saw your eyes and th[C#m]en I knew
