Song Birds in the Razor Wire.
Brian Pinkowski
Inspired by watching the joy in the hearts of South Sudanese people I found living in the
slums outside my hotel in Juba.
Verse 1
D Heartbeat rhythm. D Listen to the whisk brooms. D Young girls working. C9 D Sweeping red dirt. D Bundles perched D Atop the women's' heads. D Boys with AKs, C9 D Breaks my heart. D Boys with AKs, C9 D Breaks my heart.
Verse 2
D Rusted slum shacks D Rubbish burning in the street. D White folk show up C9 D Thinking they can help. D Every building D Wrapped up like a fortress. D Boys with AKs, C9 D Breaks my heart. D Boys with AKs, C9 D Breaks my heart.
Chorus
D Bm D Yet there's barefoot children laughing. A C Doing handstands on the wall. G D Church folk singing wildly. D C9 D and songbirds in the razor wire. D C9 D Songbirds in the razor wire.
Verse 3
D There ain't no jobs. D There ain't no money. D Worn out shoes D C9 D Up on the roof. D Everyday D Water in the jerry cans D Seems so hopeless D C9 D Breaks my heart. D Seems so hopeless D C9 D Breaks my heart.
Chorus
D Bm D Yet there's barefoot children laughing. A C Doing handstands on the wall. G D Church folk singing wildly. D C9 D and songbirds in the razor wire. D C9 D Songbirds in the razor wire.
Bridge
G D C9 G Life can be hard in the African streets. G D But joy is where you find it. G D Joy is where you find it. G D Yeah, joy is where you find it. G D unh, unh, unh, unh.
Chorus
D Bm D Yes there's barefoot children laughing, A C doing handstands on the wall. G D Church folk singing wildly. D C9 D and songbirds in the razor wire. D C9 D Songbirds in the razor wire. G D yeah, joy is where you find it. D C9 D Songbirds in the razor wire. G D Joy is where you find it. D C9 D Songbirds in the razor wire. G D Joy is where you find it. D C9 D Songbirds in the razor wire. G D (humming only)
D C9 D
D C9 D End slowly on D
