Kara Kara (1971)    (video)

 

    F - Bb - F ~

 

             F                                             Bb

1. The wind blows the palms, he was torn from your arms,

                  F

    and he sailed away,

            F                                           Bb

    the sun burns the sand, you can still feel his hand,

                   F

    as you heard him say

                Bb                                                    F

    in the words of the islands, “I'll return one day.”

 

  F                                      Bb

Kara, Kara, Kimbiay, the stars will guide my on my way,

   F                                C

Kara, Kara, Kara Kimbiay,

  F                                          Bb

Kara, Kara wait for me, when I return across the sea,

   F               C                     F

Kara, Kara, I'll be back to stay.  

 

             F                                   Bb

2. The sun disappears and the sky's not so clear,

               F

    as he sailed away,

           F                                       Bb

    the life that you lead's not the life that you need,

            F

    you still hear her say,

              Bb                                                                         F

    your words are the words, you will hear while you're away.

4. There's a light on the sea, and the wind blows the trees,

                   A

    and he's on his way,

                 A                                            D

    as you run through the sand and he touches your hand,

                     A                           D                                               A

    you can hear him say: Kimbiay Kimbiay, I've come back today.
