A                      D
Deep dark down on the foreshore
A                      E
That questions what we live for
A                     D           E
A sign reads like a tombstone blues
A                D
Colours like a rainbow
A                   E
All fall back in a dark hole
A                        D            E
And a question it comes burning through

A         D       A         E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A          D           E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure  
A         D      A         E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A         D            E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure

A                D
Time is like an ocean
A              E
Singular but broken
A                 D          E
And we are wooden pegs on a board
A                D
Sudden like a rainstorm
A                      E
A voice it pours from heaven
A                      D       E
Is this your final Welcome Home?

A          D     A        E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A          D           E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure
A          D     A      E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A          D          E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure

A                  D
Freedom's like a notion
A                      E
Tied to a tree in the ocean
A                            D           E
And I'm like a sailor on a ship with no home
A                  D           A          E
I'm left with one question burning my direction
A                  D                 E
If I had a choice which way would I go?
A         D      A        E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A          D           E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure
A         D       A        E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A         D           E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure

A         D      A     E
Wamkele wamkile,    Wamkelekile
A          D           E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure
A         D      A         E
Wamkele wamkile,     Wamkelekile
A         D          E
Wamkele wamkile, for sure
