Johannes Kerkorrel

Biography:

Johannes Kerkorrel was born as Ralph Rabie in 1960. He was a South African journalist and later a singer who publicly attacked the Apartheid system in his country.

In 1987, Johannes Kerkorrel was fired by Rapport newspaper for using quotes from PW Botha's speeches in his music; he then became a full-time musician and performer under the name Johannes Kerkorrel en die Gereformeerde Blues Band (Johannes Kerkorrel and the Reformed Blues Band), a deliberate reference to the Reformed Church.

Johannes Kerkorrel
Hillbrow


D A G
'n ou man sit by die straat kafee
D G A
en kyk al die mense loop heen en weer
G D
boemelaars raas by die wimpy bar
G D
en Fontana is oop, tot laat in die aand
G D
kaalvoet kinders in die straat
G D
wys parkeerplek aan
G D
en hou dan die hand en hou dan die hand
G D A
en hou oop die hand, ja

Koor:

D A D D A Bm
en gee gee gee, gee gee gee
G D
jou sente jou drome jou klere vol gate
G A D
gee jou hart vir hillbrow
G A D
ja gee jou hart vir hillbrow

D A G
In Quartz Straat hoor ek ‘n meisie my roep,
D G A
Daar’s ‘n Hare Krishna wat vra wat ek soek
G D
En ken ek vir Jesus? Vra ‘n man op die stoep,
G D
Tussen Hillbrow records en Estoril Books
G D
En dis lank na twaalfuur,
G D
En die Hillbrow toring stuur
G D
Sy seine in die nag, sy sein in die nag,
G D A
Sy sein vir die junkies wat wag, o

Koor:
D A D D A Bm
en gee gee gee, gee gee gee
G D
jou sente jou drome jou toekoms vol gate
G A D
gee jou hart vir hillbrow
G A D
ja gee jou hart vir hillbrow

G D
En die ligte gaan aan in die Chelsea Hotel,
G D
En stemme en musiek klink in elke woonstel.
G D
Ons sit in die son, drink wyn,
G D
Ons survive met ‘n helse lot pyn in hierdie land, ja
G D
Kom ons drink op die een wat sy drome oorleef,
G D A
Op die een wat kry wat hy vra, ja

Koor:
D A D D A Bm
en gee gee gee, gee gee gee
G D
jou sente jou drome jou toekoms vol gate
G A D
gee jou hart vir hillbrow
G A D
Komaan, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow
