_ _ _ [F] I [Bb] see her [C] floating lazily _ [F] through the market like [Bb] a [C] butterfly.
_ _ [F] Oh yeah.
[Bb] I won't forget [C] the day the [F] sun came shining in.
[Bb] _ [C]
Hey, hey now. Oh [F] yeah.
[Bb] Just [C] like the dawn [F] ringing in the rays for [Bb] that [C] sun shining.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C]
A [Gm] flaming torch [F] she lit up the [Bb] marketplace so [C] brightly.
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ [C]
Colors [Gm] in the flower [F] garden, _ [Bb] gracing her lap, [C] shimmering in [Bb] purples and _ [F] yellows.
[Bb] [C] And all the shades [F] sparkling in the skies [Bb] in the [C] rainbows of that Congo.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] [C] Cotton-row hair in a million [F] brains.
Eyes lit [Bb] up like [C] the northern star, a smile [Gm] that reads a spell when [F] she goes to look into my [Bb] eyes.
[C] She's turning me on with fever _ [F] as she passes [Gm] me [C] by.
Hey, my, [F] my.
_ _ _ [Bb] [C] Suddenly I'm walking right [F] beside her, really turning her [Bb] on.
[C]
When I tell her I'm going wherever, [F] she'll be going where she [Bb] leaves me [C] in a rush.
Right away I [F] go to carry [Bb] her [C] bag of vegetables.
[F] Hey, hey now.
[Bb] [C] We walk towards [F] the road that goes [Gm] down to the village.
[F] Ooh, my, [Bb] my.
[C] She locks the door [F] that leads into her [C] hut.
Hey, baby, roll-a-mama, roll-a-mama, yo.
The [Gm] talking [Am] drums and the [Gm] xylophones [F] of the town comes and the [Bb] doom [Am]-baz they await me.
[F] _ We [Gm] had a night [C] time of [Bb] ecstasy [F] and we woke up to the [C] roar of the lion.
_ _ [F] She had to [C] rise to the marketplace [F] to her vegetable [C] stall at the marketplace.
[Am] That's where the [Gm] sun _
[C] _ _ [F] rises.
I [C] won't forget the day the sun [F] came shining.
I [Am] won't forget the day the sun came [F] shining.
_ I [C] won't forget the day the sun [G] came shining.
Shining, [C] shining, shining, shining, shining, [F] shining, shining, shining.
I [C] won't forget the day the sun [F] came shining.
Oh, shining, [Gm] shining, [C] shining, shining, [F] shining,
I [Bb] [C] won't forget the day [F] the sun came shining.
_ [Bb] [C] Shining, shining, shining, [F] shining.
_ [Bb] I [C] won't forget [Bb] the day the sun _ _ _ _ _ came _ _ [C]
shining.
