All that we got to be thankful for 
Em
All that we got to be thankful for 
        C              G
In the heat, try to love these streets 


  G
In this town, it all went down 
  C
our chromosomes in sepia tones 
      Em   D    C
in my mind, in my mind
  G
Where you lead your lives before 
   C
From our small island brought right back  
         Em               D                C
To these shores, to these shores, to these shores 


Em           G
It's alive, it's alive when 
      C               D
I see it through your eyes 
     Em           G
It's alive, It's alive 
      C               D
Now I understand your lies 
 C                     G
When you take me there 
                     Em
You show me the city 
                      D
I see it through your eyes 
        C              G
When you take me there 
                          Em
We drive through the city 
            D
beneath the Durban Skies 


Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

All that we got to be thankful for 


  G
On the day you made your vows 
  C
The heavens opened, rain poured down
          Em    D     C
It poured down, down, down
  G
Grey and brown, the seventies 
  C
It shoots you war, and the ones you love 
        Em             D               C
Were so young, were so young, God, you were so young 


Em           G
It's alive, it's alive when 
      C               D
I see it through your eyes 
     Em           G
It's alive, It's alive 
      C               D
Now I understand your lies

All that we got to be thankful for 
Em
Oh, all that we got to be thankful for

All we got to be thankful for 


Em           G
It's alive, it's alive when

When you take me there

It's alive, It's alive 
        C         G
When you take me there

It's alive, It's alive
