[Verse 1]
A D
Well Jo'anna she runs a country
A E
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
A D Dm
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
A E A
She don't care about the rest at all
[Verse 2]
A D
She's got a system they call apartheid
A E
It keeps a brother in a subjection
A D Dm
But maybe pressure can make Jo'anna see
A E A E
How everybody could a live as one, oh
[Chorus]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna

A E A
Hope before the morning come
[Verse 3]
A D
I hear she makes all the golden money
A E
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
A D Dm
While every mother in black Soweto fears
A E A
The killing of another son
[Verse 4]
A D
Sneakin' across all the neighbors' borders
A A
Now and again having little fun
A D Dm
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
A E A E
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone, oh

A D
She's got supporters in high up places
A E
Who turn their heads to the city sun
A D Dm
Jo'anna give them the fancy money, oh
A E A
to tempt anyone who'd come
[Verse 6]
A D
She even knows how to swing opinion
A E
In every magazine and the journals
A D Dm
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes
A E A E
They got a good explanation, oh
[Verse 7]
A D
Even the preacher who works for Jesus
A E
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
A D Dm
Together say that the freedom fighters will
A E A
overcome the very strong
[Verse 8]
A A
I want to know if you're blind Jo'anna
A E
If you want to hear the sound of drums
A D Dm
Can't you see that the tide is turning, oh
A E A E
don't make me wait till the morning come, oh
