Let's do one here.
This one's on the album.
It's called Love Feeling Station and it's on the Apple Seed label.
And I'm gonna let it go at that if it's alright.
I don't think there are any record company people here anyway.
They're counting my references to it.
[G#m] [A]
[B] I'm gonna let
[E] it
[C#m] [F#m]
[A]
[B] go at that [E]
[F#m] if [B] [E]
[C#]
[C#m] [F#m]
[A] [B] it's alright.
[E]
[F#m] [B]
[E]
[C#m] [F#m]
[B] I'm gonna let it go at that [E] [F#]
if
[E] [C#m]
[F#] [F#m]
[B] it's alright.
And the deviling said everything [E] for me.
[F#m] And all the poor [B] old [F#]
folks, [E] they thought we'd lost our minds.
[C#m] They could not [G#m] make heads or tails of [F#m] the young folks' [B] funny rhymes.
[E] But you and I [C#] knew all the words [F#m] that we always sang [F#] along to [G#m] old [C#m] Chamalee, long [F#m] day,
[B] Chamalee, day [E] long.
[C#m] [F#m]
[B]
[E] So after years [C#m] and after tears [F#m] and after summers past,
[B] the old [F#m] folks tried [F#] to warn us [A] how [E] our love would never [F#m] last.
[E] That all we'd get [C#m] was soaking wet from [F#m] walking in the rain
[C#] and [Bm] singing Shamu, [B] Shee-Wa-Ling [A] [E]
again.
[F#m] And all the poor [B] old folks, [A] they [E] smile and walk away.
[C#m] But I bet they did [G#m] some Shamu, Lamu, [F#m]
Ding Dong in [E] their day.
I bet that they [C#m] still close their eyes [F#m] and I bet they sing [F#] along to [E] old [G#m] [C#m]
Chamalee, [F#m] long day, Chamalee, day long.
[B] Chamalee, day, [C#m]
all those sweet old love songs, [E] boy, every word rings true.
[C#m] Chamalee, long day means sweetheart.
[F#m] Chamalee, day, long [B] does do.
[E] And it means that right here [C#m] in my arms, well, [F#m] that's where you belong.
[F#] And it means [C#m] Chamalee, [F#m] long day, [B]
Chamalee, [E] day long.

Thank you very much.
