Under The Bamboo Tree

• C

Verse 
C                  G7 
Down in the jungle lived a maid, 
C                      G7 
Of royal blood, though dusky shade; alt: out in a palace in the shade 
  E7                Am 
A marked impression once she made, 
D7              G7 
Upon a Zulu from Matabulu; 
C                 G7 
And ev'ry morning he would be 
C                   G7 
Down underneath the bamboo tree, 
E7                 Am 
Awaiting there his love to see 
D7                   G7 
And then to her he'd sing: 


   C          F       C        F 
If you like-a-me like I like-a-you 
    C         F        C  
And we like-a-both the same, 
G7 
I like-a-say, This very day, 
                        C 
I'd like-ta change your name; 
       C        F       C          F 
'Cause I love-a-you and love-you a-true 
    C        F      C 
And if you-a love-a me. 
G7 
One live as two, two live as one, 
                 C 
Under the bamboo tree.
