Youtube Video Christy Moore Biko Drum
And[G] they went home on an Easter road
On a[C] silent night[G] tryin' not to show
[F]Who goes where and who[G]
goes when
Thinkin'[Am] some day soon they'll[F] get it [G]back again
From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the
gold
Little boy blue can't be sold
Under tin roof and a plastic wall
Thinkin' someday soon we're goin' to leave it
all
And [C]the renegades sing [G]all the[Am] renegade songs
And the ones who[F] know hope [G]they're doin'
wrong
The[F] blacks and the coloreds[G] play the Biko Drum
The[F] blacks and the colou[G]red [Am]play the[G] biko drum
Listen
to the Biko Drum
Transvaal Kids on a Transvaal day
Little by little the show the way
To a city of dreams
and solid ground
Thinkin' someday soon we're gonna come around
Steve he's livin' in a prison cell
All the
friends that know hope he's doin' well
Down here they listen to the Biko Drum
Down here they listen to the songs he
sung
Nelson listen to the people sing
Nelson Mandela the people's king
Twenty-five years in a white man's
jail
Twenty-five years we couldn't make him say
