Eddy Grant was born on 5
March 1948,
in Plaisance, Guyana, West Indies. Grant moved to England in 1960. Over the next
few years, he wrote a number of fantastic songs, some of which have become
classics. He formed the Group The Equals in the 1960s and later had a
successful solo career. His real name is Edmond Montague Grant. Since the
1970’s, Eddy Grant has released several albums on which he wrote and performed
every note of the music, in addition to recording it in his own studio and
issuing it on his own record label. Grant openly used his songwriting for
political purposes, as in Police on My Back and later Gimme Hope Jo'anna about
the then-current apartheid regime of South Africa. Eddy Grant’s classic
work remains as popular as ever today and has been covered by many successful
artists. Also see: Chords for Beginners: Chris Rea.

Well Jo'anna she runs a country
A E
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
A D
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
A E A
She don't care about the rest at all

It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody could a live as one

I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son
A D A E...
Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo'anna give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come

In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes
They got a good explanation

Gimme hope, Jo'anna, hope, Jo'anna

The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
A D A E...
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
