Cape To Rio

G                          D7
She went from Cape to Cairo
G                     Am
I went from Cape to Rio
G                       C
She drinks her Tanqueray
         G      Em   C   D
But it's Mainstay for me, oh
G                             D7
My heart and soul are hardened
G                   C      D
I built the Hanging Gardens
D        C
I let my tears flow
  Bm     Em    C   D  C
I let my tears flow

C                 Em  D
Oh, what bitter stuff

G            C
Don't say my song's too slow
G                 D
Don't talk 'cause you don't know
Em          C               D              D
The place I come from is a place you never go
G           C
No, no it's not enough
                    D            Em
I want more of this bitter stuff
           Am      C         D
You see me swaying as you're praying for my fall

G                      D7
I try to understand her
G                         Am
Outside on the blue veranda
G              C
When she feels pleasure
               Em   C      D
It's a measure of my worth
G
They say never say never
                  C         G
But my name's Nebuchadnezzar
         C
And I'll never let it go
     G     Em    C   D
I'll never let it go

D                  Em E D
No, it's not enough

G            C
Don't say my song's too slow
G                 D
Don't talk 'cause you don't know
Em          C               D              D
The place I come from is a place you never go
G           C
No, no it's not enough
                    D            Em
I want more of this bitter stuff
           Am      C         D
You see me swaying as you're praying for my fall

G                          D7
She makes the feeling purer
G                       Am
With a dash of Angostura
D
I've learned the art
A      G        Em      C  D
Of being everywhere at once
G                        D7
I built the Cape to Cairo
G                         Am
I drank the Cape to Rio
G              C
I died an emperor
Am            Em        D    A
And came back as a griot

G            C
Don't say my song's too slow
G                 D
Don't talk 'cause you don't know
Em          C               D              D
The place I come from is a place you never go
G           C
No, no it's not enough
                    D            Em
I want more of this bitter stuff
           Am      C         D
You see me swaying as you're praying for my fall
