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

Chorus:
       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 lives
          C
Will you take me there
G                Em
You show me the city
                       D
I see it through your eyes
          C
Will you take me there
G                    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
C                  D
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
D
All that I've got to be thankful for...

On the day you made your vows
The heavens opened, rain poured down
It poured down, down, down...
Grey and brown, the seventies
The suits you wore, and the ones you loved
Were so young, were so young
Lord, you were so young

Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
All that I've got to be thankful for...
Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for

Chorus

When you take me there
There
When you take me there
There
When you take me there
It’s alive, it’s alive
When you take me there
It's alive, it's alive
