[Intro]
Am C Am
 
[Verse 1]
C
  I am sitting still
                Am
I think of Angelique
                        F
Her mother's voice over me
                                            Am
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
C
  And on a thousandth hill
               Am
I think of Albertine
                                F
There in her eyes what I don't see
              Am
With my own.
 
[Chorus]
     F
Rwanda
                 C
Now that I have seen
          G      Dm7
I am responsible
                             F
Faith without deeds is dead
                  C
Now that I have held you
            G    Dm7
In my own arms
                         Am
I cannot let go 'til you are
 
Am C Am
 
[Verse 2]
C
   And I am on a plane
                 Am
Across a distant sea
                   F
But I carry you in me
 
In the dust on, the dust on
Am
The dust on my feet
 
[Chorus]
     F
Rwanda
                 C
Now that I have seen
          G      Dm7
I am responsible
                             F
Faith without deeds is dead
                  C
Now that I have held you
            G    Dm7
In my own arms
                         Am
I cannot let go 'til you are
 
[Bridge]
Am C Am
 
C          Am
    I will tell the world
                   F         C
I will tell them where I've been
        Am
I will keep my word
                   F   C
I will tell them Albertine
 
[Chorus]
     F
Rwanda
                 C
Now that I have seen
          G      Dm7
I am responsible
                             F
Faith without deeds is dead
                  C
Now that I have held you
            G    Dm7
In my own arms
                         Am
I cannot let go 'til you are
 
Am C Am
 
[Verse 3]
C
    And I am on a stage
                   Am
A thousand eyes on me
                     F
I will tell them, Albertine
                     Am
I will tell them, Albertine
