Agisyman Trilogy
GThey called it Agisymba Cthis fair and promised lanGd
And it was the Cstoneage home Dof the litGtle yellow man
And he huCnted with the bDow and he wGorshipped to the sun
CYes he was the hDunter but he was the hGunted one
Then dCown from the juGngles there cDame the Turbid TGribes
With their spCears and their shGields and their lDong flashing knGives
And they hCounded the bushman Gfrom his paDinted caves and laGnds
   CTo the merciless wGastes of the KDalahari sGands.
Then came the CArabs and the sturdy PortuGgese
To the land they called CSofala fDrom the seven sGeas
And they fought MonomCotapa’s Dwarriors of oGld
To run across his Ckingdom and tDake away his gGold
ThCen the MatabGele came rDunning from the BGoer
To Cplunder the MasGhona and wDage another wGar
And the Ccolumns came a-mGarching and they Druled for many yGears
And they cCalled the land RhGodesia those BDritish pioneeGrs
And the wChite man wDorked and the bGlack man toEmiled
And the tCribes all fDought and rGebellions bEmoiled
And the wCorld went mDad with two world wEmars
And ‘thA7ough men died they never sDettled their scores
And the Emmadness spread it’s the same damn thing
Hear the wCar drums throb hear the bDugles ring
And they Emnamed Zimbabwe through the barrel of a gun
And the Cwinners lost and the Dlosers won.
But lGive in this land and sChare all the sGpoils
You reap what you sow through A7labours and Dtoils
GBlack man and White man have Call paid a Gprice
Yellow man’s gone like a Dmad sacrifiGce
Agisymba Sofala CMonomotaGpa
Rhodesia Zimbabwe cA7all it what you cDan
You Gall can live in it but Cno one can Gwin it
For it always belonged to the DLittle Yellow GMan (x2)

Agisyman Trilogy

G C G

They called it Agisymba this fair and promised land

C D G

And it was the stoneage home of the little yellow man

C D G

And he hunted with the bow and he worshipped to the sun

C D G

Yes he was the hunter but he was the hunted one

C G D G

Then down from the jungles there came the Turbid Tribes

C G D G

With their spears and their shields and their long flashing knives

C G D G

And they hounded the bushman from his painted caves and lands

C G D G

To the merciless wastes of the Kalahari sands.

C G

Then came the Arabs and the sturdy Portugese

C D G

To the land they called Sofala from the seven seas

C D G

And they fought Monomotapa’s warriors of old

C D G

To run across his kingdom and take away his gold

C G D G

Then the Matabele came running from the Boer

C G D G

To plunder the Mashona and wage another war

C G D G

And the columns came a-marching and they ruled for many years

C G D G

And they called the land Rhodesia those British pioneers

C D G Em

And the white man worked and the black man toiled

C D G Em

And the tribes all fought and rebellions boiled

C D Em

And the world went mad with two world wars

A7 D

And ‘though men died they never settled their scores

And the madness spread it’s the same damn thing

C D

Hear the war drums throb hear the bugles ring

And they named Zimbabwe through the barrel of a gun

C D

And the winners lost and the losers won.

G C G

But live in this land and share all the spoils

A7 D

You reap what you sow through labours and toils

G C G

Black man and White man have all paid a price

D G

Yellow man’s gone like a mad sacrifice

C G

Agisymba Sofala Monomotapa

A7 D

Rhodesia Zimbabwe call it what you can

G C G

You all can live in it but no one can win it

D G

For it always belonged to the Little Yellow Man (x2)
