 F#                   
 Driving down the road
           F#            
 Under the southern light
 F#                 
 Looking back to see
                  F#  
 Where we've come from
 B                            
 As we watched the sun go down
 B                         
 Rain it fell like diamonds
      F#              F# 
 From Kimberley mines 
 
 F#                    
 On the road to Jo'burg
          F#         
 With the dying light
 F#             
 Farewell Durban
           F# 
 City of Natal
 B                                     
 Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts
 B                           
 As we crossed the borderline
     F#             F# 
 And into Transvaal 
 
 C#         B          
  I saw the sun go down
 C#                 F#   
 Under the southern skies
 C#        B   
  Over and over
      B              
 I'll always remember
       B                 F#     F# 
 Those beautiful African nights 
 
 F#           
 In the old VW
      F#             
 We'd count the miles
    F#                     
 We travelled with a friend
                F#  
 Whose name was Farr
     B                      
 The stories that he told us
           B    
 Talked of faces
 Times and places
          F#                F# 
 Sang and played his guitar 
 
 F#                   
 Driving down the road
             F#          
 We hear the morning rise
 F#                  
 Leaving all the past
          F#  
 So far behind
     B                          
 The sound man played the Eagles
       B     
 As we listen
 "Take It Easy"
        F#                   F# 
 Echoes on through our lives 
 
 C#         B          
  I saw the sun go down
 C#                 F#   
 Under the southern skies
 C#        B   
  Over and over
      B              
 I'll always remember
   B                   
 I still hear them call
    B             
 No matter how far
       B                 F#     F# 
 Those beautiful African nights
