Tap on [C7]this dirty beat
Many men never heard of me
But certainly if they follow my [A]tɾajectory
They would find that I’m ɾoyalty
And the younger me
Wants to [C7]climb on [C7]a mango tɾee
And I miss me felling free
And I miss me eating that Kelewele
Girls shaking their wele ɾight in front of me
And I miss me walking barefooted and [Bm]innocent
Talking pidgin, Ghanaian citizen
Pounding of fufu, I miss the beat
And I miss them [A]calling me Dadabee (Haye)
Home is where my [A]heart is
Torn from home, could be [Am]so heartless
Visual memoirs of a tɾavelling artist

Gari, Akɔ-kɔɔ and [Bm]beans
These are the things that I see in my [A]dreams
Abi, you [A7know sey my [A]eye ɾed
E Kyɛɛ waa since I last chop tea bread
Palm wine, sɔk plus calabash
I mek fine, everything be [Am]stɾaight cash
One time four corners mek we bash
Kyenesa, obey-the-wind (Aahh)
Ewurade Nyankropɔn, Pɔnpipɔnpipɔn
That’s the sound of the horn we turn it on
Everything done changed since I’ve been gone
But still all [Em]the same for [Dm7]ɾight or wrong
Kokrokoo, the crack of dawn
Aye, lampoon [C7]that’s taxes aye
Blues for [Dm7]home I feel today
Feeling great but high
