Johnny Clegg - DELA
[Intro]
D   A   G   Dx4
[Verse]
DOne day I Alooked up and Gthere you Dwere
DLike a simple Aquestion Glooking for an Danswer
DNow I am Aa whale Glistening to some Dinner call
DSwimming bliAndly to throw myGself upon your Dshores
But Dwhat if I don't Afind you when IG-- have lanDded
DWould you leave me Ahere to die on Gyour shore stDranded?
|* D   A   G   D*|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon *| x2
[Pre-Chorus]
I say: DDe--Ala! GDe--Dla! NgiyaDde--Ala! When GI'm with Dyou!
DDe--Ala! SonGde--Dla mama! sonDde--Ala I Gburn for Dyou!
[Chorus]
DI've been waiting for you Gall my life Ahoping for a Bmmiracle
DI've been waiting Gday and night, Aday and nigDht
DI've been waiting for you Gall my life Awaiting for reBmdemption
DI've been waiting Gday and night I Aburn for yoDu
[Instrumental]
D   A   G   Dx2
[Verse]
A Dblind bird Asings inside the Gcage that is my Dheart
The Dimage of your Aface comes to me Gwhen I'm alone Din the dark
DIf I could Agive a shape to Gthis ache that I Dhave for you
DIf I could Afind the voice that Gsays the words that Dcapture you
|* D   A   G   D*|
