And I'm gonna let it go at that if 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.
