Michael Franti & Spearhead - Hello Bonjour

[Intro]
F G
F G

[Verse 1]
F
I don’t need a passport to walk on this earth
G
Anywhere I go ‘cause I was made of this earth
F
I’m born of this earth, I breathe of this earth
G
And even with the pain I believe in this earth
F
So I wake up in every mornin’ and I’m steppin’ on the floor
G
I wake up in every mornin’ and I’m steppin’ out the door
F
I got faith in the sky, faith in the one
G
Faith in the people rockin’ underneath the sun

[Verse 2]
F
‘Cause every bit of land is a holy land
G
And every drop of water is a holy water
F
And every single child is a son or a daughter
G
Of the one earth mama, and the one earth papa
F
So don’t tell a man that he can’t come here
G
‘Cause he got brown eyes and a wavy kind of hair
F
And don’t tell a woman that she can’t go there
G
Because she prays a little different to a God up there

[Verse 3]
F
You say you’re a Christian ‘cause God made you
G
You say you’re a Muslim ‘cause God made you
F
You say you’re a Hindu and the next man a Jew
G
And we all kill each other ‘cause God told us to? No!

[Chorus]
F
Hello, hello! (Hello, hello!)
G
Bonjour, bonjour! (Bonjour, bonjour!)
F
Hola, hola! (Hola, hola!)
G
Konnichiwa, konnichiwa wa!
F
Hello, hello! (Hello, hello!)
G
Bonjour, bonjour! (Bonjour, bonjour!)
F
Hola, hola! (Hola, hola!)
G
Konnichiwa, konnichiwa wa!

[verse 4]
F
Follow me, follow me, let me take to the dancehall, now
G
To come a rock this rhythm
F
Follow me, follow me, follow me, let me take to the dancehall, now
G
To come a skankin’
F
Follow me, follow me, follow me, let me take to the dancehall, now
G
To come a rock this rhythm
F
Follow me, follow me, follow me, let me take to the dancehall, now
G
In a spearhead style.

[Verse 5]
F
So you dance to the rhythm, bounce to the rhythm
G
Shake to the rhythm and you roll the rhythm
F
Sweat to the rhythm, get wet to the rhythm
G
Make love to the rhythm, clean up to the rhythm
F
When you movin’ you come alive
G
When you groovin’ in rhythm we survive
F
So, don’t panic, don’t panic
G
No drum machines, this is all organic

[Verse 6]
F
Just Sly and Robbie on the drums and the bass
G
Stickie on percussion and we mashin’ up the place
F
Givin’ you a beat you can rock and roll to
G
Givin’ you a sound you can shake your soul to
F
So hip hoppas, punk rockas
G
Roots rockas, even wood stockas
F
Don’t need a passport, just send a postcard
G
Send me a message, let me know how you are
F
Whether you are walkin’ or drivin’ in your car
G
Throw your hands high tell me who you are. Say

[Chorus]
F
Hello, hello! (Hello, hello!)
G
Bonjour, bonjour! (Bonjour, bonjour!)
F
Hola, hola! (Hola, hola!)
G
Konnichiwa, konnichiwa wa!
F
Hello, hello! (Hello, hello!)
G
Bonjour, bonjour! (Bonjour, bonjour!)
F
Hola, hola! (Hola, hola!)
G
Konnichiwa, konnichiwa wa!
