Chords for Under the Bamboo Tree

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] Down in the jungles [Eb] lived a maid [Ab] of royal blood, though a dusky shade
[C] A mocked impression once she made
[Bb] Upon a [Eb] Zulu from Mathabu _
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [C] Waiting there his love to [Bb] see
And then to her [G] he'd say
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
If you like me like I [Bb] like [Ab] you and we like [Eb] both the same
I like to say this very day I like to change [Ab] your name
Cause I love you [Ab] and love you too
And if you will love me
[Eb] _ Two, two is one
_ [Ab]
And _ _ [F] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Ab] in this simple jungle way
He wooed [C] the maiden every day
By singing what he had to say
[Bb] One day he [Eb] seized her and gently squeezed her
[Ab] And then beneath [Eb] the bamboo green
[Ab] He begged her [Eb] to become his [C] queen
The dusky maiden lushed [Bb] unseen
And joined him in his [Eb] song
_ [Ab] _
_ _ _ If you like me like I like you and we like both the [Eb] same
I like to [Eb] say this very day I like to change your name
Cause I love you and love you too
If you like me like I like you and we like both the same
I like to say this very day I like [Ab] to change your name
Cause I love you and love [Bb] you too
And if you will love me
[Eb] _ Two, two is one
[Ab] And in this simple jungle way _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] Cause I love you and love you too
This little story
Strange [Eb] but [Ab] true
Is often told In [Bbm] Mathabo
[C] Of how this Zulu
[Fm] Tried to woo
[Bb] His Jungle Lady
In tropics shady
_ [Ab] Although the sea was [Eb] Miles away
[Ab] Right here at home I [Eb] dare to say
[C] You'll hear some Zulu every [Bb] day
Gush out a soft refrain _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ If you like me like I like you
And we're the [Eb] same
I could say this very day
I like [Ab] to change your name
Cause I love you and love [Bb] you too
And if you [Ab] love me, [Eb] leave us two
Two leaves, one flower
_ _ [Ab] _
