Tom : Bb
Bb F Bb
I started young, I was enthralled by your agape
Bb F Bb
As a student I kept going colour me captured
Bb F Bb
Disillusioned enough needed your guidance
Bb F Bb
And so I turned over to you to lead me home
And then I said
Bb F Eb Bb
Guru teacher, Guruji I bow to you
Bb F Eb
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Bb F Eb Bb
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Bb F Eb Bb
Please consider me your utmost humble student
Bb F Bb
And so I fell under your spell, I was enraptured
Bb F Bb
Your every word I held onto til it was gospel
Bb F Bb
You weren’t deterred from your asserts we’re identical
Bb F Bb
I will admit I saw your face inside my face
[Chorus]
[Souleye Rap]
[Verse 3, same chords as above]
You had enough of subservience, and so you stopped me.
You saw my light seen as your light, gave it back to me.
I eventually saw that your jewel was in my pocket.
It had been there the whole time throughout my search.
And I finally saw...
[Chorus]
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Taken by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Thanks for pointing back to my inherent wisdom.
