My group has done it several times, and we're doing it again this spring! But I'll give it a go (It's really just I IV V, and the key doesn't matter. We do it in D): D A D Sin nje nje nje, n-ge-mi tan-da-zo (2X). G A D N-ge-mi tan-de-zo, N-ge-mi tan-de-zo,(2X). D A D Oh ma-ma ba-gu-da-la ba-be-than-da-za (2X). D G A D Ba-be-than-da-za, Ba-be-than-da-za (2X) ("Things are as they are because of prayer. Our Mothers, women of old, always pray") Some great videos: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Babethandaza&search_type=&aq=f |
