Misc Musicals – The Book Of Mormon - Hasa Diga Eebowai (Guitar)

F#5
In this part of Africa, we all have a saying

F#5
Whenever something bad happens

F#5
We just throw our hands to the sky and say

F#5
"Hasa Diga Eebowai"

F#5
Hasa Diga Eebowai?

F#5
It's the only way to get through all these troubled times

F#5
There's war, poverty, famine

F#5
But having a saying makes it all seem better

F#5
There isn't enough food to eat

F#5
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#5
People are starving in the street

F#5
Hasa Diga Eebowai

Well, that's pretty neat

F#
Does it mean "No worries for the rest of our days?"

F#
Kind of, we've had no rain in several days

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
And eighty percent of us have AIDS

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
Many young girls here get circumsized

F#
Their clits get cut right off

F#
And so we say up to the sky

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
Now you try, just stand up tall

F#
Tilt your head to the sky

F#
And list off the bad things in your life

F#
Somebody took our luggage away

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
The plane was crowded, and the bus was late

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
When the world is getting you down

F#
There's nobody else to blame

F#
Raise your middle finger to the sky

F#
And curse his rotten name

F#
(Wait, what?)

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
(Am I saying that right?)

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
Excuse me sir

F#
But what exactly does that phrase mean?

F#
Well, let's see, Eebowai means "God"

F#
And Hasa Diga means "Fuck you"

F#
So I guess in English it would be, "Fuck you, God"

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
When God fucks you in the butt

F#
Hasa Diga Eebowai

F#
Fuck God right back in his cunt

Hasa  Diga  Eebowai

F#
Excuse me, sir, but you should really

F#
Not be saying that

F#
Things aren't always as bad as they seem

F#
Oh, really?

F#
Well, take this fucking asshole M'tumbo here

F#
He got caught last week trying to rape a baby

F#
But, why?

F#
So people in his tribe believe that having

F#
Sex with a virgin will cure the AIDS

F#
There aren't many virgins left, so some of them

F#
Are turning to babies

F#
But that's horrible

F#
I know

F#
Here's the butcher, he has AIDS

F#
Here's the teacher, she has AIDS

F#
Here's the doctor, he has AIDS

F#
Here's my daughter, she has a

D#m9           Bmaj7
Wonderful disposition

      F#(add9)               B(add9)
She's all I have left in the world

       D#m9                 F#/A#   B(add9)
And if either of you lays a hand on her

C#7sus                 F#
I will give you my AIDS
