Hi All, this is a great song and credit to the person that put it up.
I ve made a few additions/changes to capture Christy s beat on this.
It s just a half or quarter bar on the second cord on each line but if you listen
to the song you ll pick it up.
(1)
As they went home on an Easter Road
On a silent night trying not to show
Who goes where and who goes when
Thinking some day soon they ll get it back again
(2)
From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold
Little Boy Blue can t be sold
Under tin roof and a plastic wall
Thinking some day soon we re going to leave it all
(chorus)
And the Renegades sing all the renegades songs
And the ones who know hope they re doing wrong
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
Listen to the Biko Drum
(3)
Transvaal kids on a Transvaal day
Little by little they show the way
To a city of dreams and solid ground
Thinking some day soon we re gonna come around
(4)
Steve s living in a prison cell
All the friends that know hope he s doing well
Down here they listen to the Biko Drum
Down here they listen to the songs he sung
(chorus)
And the Renegades sing all the renegades songs
And the ones who know hope they re doing wrong
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
Listen to the Biko Drum
(5)
Nelson listen to the people sing
Nelson Mandela the people s king
Twenty-five years in a white man s jail
Twenty-five years we couldn t make him say
(chorus)
And the Renegades sing all the renegades songs
And the ones who know hope they re doing wrong
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
Listen to the Biko Drum
(outro â play 2x)
Listen to the Biko Drum
the Biko Drum
Listen to the Biko Drum
