JUNGLE LULLABY C.W.STONEKING http://cwstoneking.com/ Listen to the song for strummyness and just run between the root notes here and there to get that jungle blues feel... Lots of jazzy chord voicings in this, so I've done what I can from the record. Also, I think CW sometimes tunes down to Eb, but this is for standard tuning. Chords used. VERSE E/Adim 0xx545 Am* x0x555 E7 x7675x E7/B 7x675x CHORUS C x32010 C/G 3x2010 G7 320001 C7add5 x32100 F x3321x B7 x2120x Am x0221x Dm* x57765 F#dim7 xx4545 Abm7-5 32010x Em7 02203x Dm xx3231 G 3200xx VERSE 1 E/Adim Am* E/Adim Am* E/Adim It was deep in the Jungles of Africa Am* E/dim E7 E7/B Where the bugs is thick as fleas E7 E7/B E7 E7/B And the heat will drive sane men crazy E7 E7/B Am* E/Adim And the water's full o' disease Am* E/Adim Am* E/Adim I went out walkin with a beautiful girl Am* E/Adim E7 E7/B Where the spotted honeysteppers fly E7 E7/B E7 E7/B We lay down under the bamboo trees E7 E7/B Am* G7 I sang that Jungle Lullaby Oh CHORUS C C/G C C/G Sing-------ing, G7 Swi----ngin, on a C C7add5 F Lazy afternoon in paradise F B7 Croo---nin, F Am Swoo---nin.

I heard there was a party over at the Officers Club, so I took that girl on over, man, we walked in the joint, orchestra playin so sweet I thought I'd die. I got up on that old bandstand, sang that Jungle Lullaby. Singin, swingin, On a lazy afternoon in paradise Croonin, swoonin, That old time song, where the days are long, It's a Jungle Lullaby
