Biko Drum

   Am   F                            G
    Wait, listen to the Biko drum! (4x)

                      G                         C         G
    And they went home on an Easter road,
              C                        F          G
    on a silent night tryin' not to show
      C                                F                G
    who goes where and who goes when,
                  F                                          C        G
    thinkin' some day soon they'll get it back again.

                       G                              C           G
    From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold,
     C                        F           G
    little black baby can't be sold,
      C                              F         G
    under tin roof and a plastic wall,
                  F                                            C        G
    thinkin' someday soon we're goin' to leave it all.

               C                                 Em            F
And the renegades sing all the renegade songs,
             Am                                                   Em
and the ones who know hope they're doin' wrong.
          F                                                           G
The blacks and the coloreds play the Biko Drum,
             F                                                  G     Am   F   G
all the blacks and the coloreds play the Biko Dru..........m.

      G                               C             G
    Transvaal Kids on a Transvaal day,
     C                            F           G
    little by little they show the way
            C                             F        G
    to a city of dreams and solid ground,
                  F                                           C         G
    thinkin' someday soon we're gonna come around.

    all the friends that know hope he's doin' well.
                C                                 F       G
    Down here they listen to the Biko drum,

    down here they listen to the songs he sung.

and the ones who know hope they're doin' wrong.
