             Gm
See I've been walking down this road
    Bb                            Dm                               Eb
For about 35 years now, and I can tell you, it's been one hell of a ride
              Gm                             Bb
And I've been carrying my father's words that he said to me
             Dm                    Eb
Learn to be wise, walk with integrity and be honest
          Dm                   Bb                             Dm
And I can hear my grandma say, child I've got nothing to give you
                       Eb
But may God be with you, in that distant land
Eb              Bb                                 Dm
I am an African girl; well I know where I'm coming from
                         Eb
And I know who I want to be
Eb             Bb                             Dm                     Eb
I am trying to defy everything they said of us, we who have chocolate skin
       Gm                               Bb       Dm
In the back of my mind all I can hear ooh ooh are voices
                          Eb
Of those who are here and those who've already gone
          Gm                       Bb        Dm
And I can hear them whispering, ooh ooh, mwari witu,
                        Eb
When you go their land, please represent us well
          Dm                   Bb                             Dm
And I can hear my grandma say, child I've got nothing to give you
                      Eb
But may God be with you, in that distant land
Eb              Bb                               Dm
I am an African girl, and I know where I'm coming from
                        Eb
And I know who I want to be
Eb             Bb                             Dm                     Eb
I am trying to defy everything they said of us, we who have chocolate skin
Eb              Bb                               Dm
I am an African girl, and I know where I'm coming from
                        Eb
And I know who I want to be
Eb             Bb                             Dm                     Eb
I am trying to defy everything they said of us, we who have chocolate skin
       Gm           Bb          Dm       Eb
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing        Oh oh oh oh
       Gm           Bb          Dm       Eb
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing        Oh oh oh oh

       Gm           Bb          Dm       Eb

      Eb              Bb                               Dm
Cause I am an African girl, and I know where I'm coming from
                        Eb
And I know who I want to be
Eb              Bb                               Dm
I am an African girl, and I know where I'm coming from
