[Verse 1]
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] [C] [F] [C/G] [G]
Jo-oseph's face was black as night
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] [C] [F] [C/G] [G]
His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
And he walked his days under African skies
[Chorus]
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
This is the story of how we begin to remember
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain

In early memory
[C] [F] [C/G] [G]
Mission mu--sic
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
[C] [F] [C/G] [G]
I said take this child, Lord
[C] [F] [C/G] [G]
From Tucson, Arizona
[C] [F] [C/G]
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
[G] [C] [F] [C/G] [G]
And she won't bother you no more
[Chorus]
[C] [F] [C/G] [G] | [C] [F] | [C/G] | [G] |
This is the story of how we begin to remember

These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain
