Em                        D

Here’s a story I’ve been told
                         C
About a child of 12 years old
                   Em     D         C       Em
Breathing life to young trees falling

Em                        D
Before the barbed wire on the plain
                         C
Before the white man ever came
                   Em     D         C Em
She must’ve saved 10 000 souls

G                      D
She was the keeper of the young
                         C
The ones whose lives have just begun
                  B7
The ones to die their song unsung

[Chorus]
               Em    D  C   Em    D    C   Em

OO... Chigeas, OO... Chigeas


[Verse 2]
Em                        D
The story tells of how she cried
                         C
The day the wind blew high the fire
                   Em     D         C       Em
Left her burned but still undompted
Em                        D
Across the lake lived the magic team
                         C
Who set a task for malicete
                   Em     D         C       Em
To find the special girl he wanted
G                      D
When all the village girls had tried
                         C
To win his heart to be his bride
              B7
Oochi would not be denied

[Chorus]
               Em    D  C   Em    D    C   Em
OO... Chigeas, OO... Chigeas


[Outro]
Em                        D
Here’s a story I’ve been told
                         C
About a child of 12 years old
                   Em     D         C       Em
Breathing life to young trees falling
