Albertine

Key: E

Introduction:

 G# 
      I am sitting still
                               Cm7 
I think of Angeline
                                                 G# 
Her mother's voice over me
                                                                                       Cm7 
And the bullets in the war where it fell silent
 G# 
      And on a thousandth hill,
                                 Cm7 
I think of Albertine
                                                                 G# 
There in her eyes what I don't see
                   Cm7 
With my eyes
                                 G#                                 D# 
                Rwanda,       now that I have seen
                                   A# 
                I am responsible
                 Fm7                                               G# 
                        Faith without deeds is dead
                                                 D#                         A# 
                Now that I have held you in my own arms

                 Fm7                                          Cm7            D# 
                  I cannot let go til       you are
 G# 
      I am on a plane
                                   Cm7 
Across a distant sea
                                       G# 
But I carry you in me
                                                                             Cm7 
In the dust on, the dust on, the dust on,
The dust on, the dust on my feet
          Cm7 
    I will tell the world
                                                         D# 
I will tell them where I've been
               Cm7 
I will keep my word
                                               D# 
I will tell them, Albertine
 G# 
      I am on a stage
                                       Cm7 
A thousand eyes on me
                                             G# 
I will tell them Albertine
                                             Cm7 
I will tell them Albertine
