a neighboring clan went on the attack
                             D                        A
and stole all the giant coco-yams from the barn out back
                 E                      A    D  A  E  A
i will make them pay for taking my yams away

                    D
i carved out little figurines of thieves
                                       A
burned a palmful of red dust from the medicine bag
             D
broke a kola nut in half, i hate half of it myself
                         A
sat back and watched the evening drag
                 E                        A                     D  A  E
i will make them regret that they haven't brought my yams back yet
