Crossing Osiyeza Tab

by Johnny Clegger And Savuka


It isn't 100% accurate I'm kind of unsure about the intro and the part before the last 
but the verses and the chorus work nicely at least when I play them.

Enjoy!

Intro: 

                         
Through all the days that eat away
                     
at every breath that I take
                            
through all the nights I've lain alone
                         
in someone else's dream, awake
                             
all the words in truth we have spoken
                          
that the wind has blown away
                            
it's only you that remains with me
                    
clear as the light of day

                        
O Siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma
(we are coming, we are coming, we will arrive soon)
                     
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
(we are coming, we are coming, we are moving across this earth)
                    
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
(we are crossing over those dark mountains)
                                 
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
(where we will lay down our troubles)

  

                      
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
                               
takes a beating without making a sound
                        
through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
                         
'cause noone can put him down
                                  
inside of him a boy looks up to his father
                           
for a sign or an approving eye
                                         
oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
                      
can still so affect our lives

Chorus



                      
Take me now, don't let go
                              
hold me close, I'm coming home

Chorus
