[A] _ _ _ _ [G] I see [Am] her [C] floating, glazing in,
[G] She's a little dot [Am] like a [D] butterfly.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] I won't forget [E] the day the sun came shining in, _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] Just like the dawn,
[E] In the rays that [Am] spread all that [D] sunshine on Congo.
[G] A _ [Am] _ _
_ [D] flaming torch she lit up the [Am] market place so bright.
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
Colors in the flower [G] gadgets,
_ [D] Gracing her lap are shimmering in purples and [G] yellows,
_ [C] And [D] all the shades,
[G] Fluttering in the skies [C] in the [A] rainbows of the Congo. _ _ _ _ _
[D] Conroe hair in a million [G] braids,
Eyes [D] lit up like the northern stars,
I smile that [D] beatless bell when she [G] goes to look into [Am] my eyes,
She's [D] turning me on with fever.
_ [G] I see her [Am] passing me by,

[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] I'm [C] walking right [D] beside her,
[G] Really turning on,
[C] _
[D] When I tell her I'm going wherever,
[G] Oh, [E] she's evil, my girl.
Right away I go [G] to,
And leave [Dm] her [C] bag of [D] vegetables,
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
And walk to watch,
[A] The road [C] that goes down [A] to the village,
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] Lock the door and [G] sleep into [C] her heart.
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] The [C] talking trams [E] and the [G] tramophones,
Called them dum-dums [Am] and they thought they were windy,
[Dm] _ _ [G] We [A] had a high time of this year,
And we woke up the roar of the lions,
[D] _ _ She had [C] to ride the market [C] place,
To [G] help her dear [C] devil stall at [D] the market [D] place,
[G] That's where [C] the sun [D] rises,
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [E] _
The [C] day the sun came shining [D] in, _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ I [G] _ [D] won't forget the day the sun came shining in, _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] I [D] won't forget the day the sun came shining in, _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ I won't [D] forget the day the sun came shining [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
