South America, Take it Away-Bing Crosby chords
Start Jamming...
[Db]
[Bb]
Up here in the land of the hot dog stand, the Atambaman's a good human man.
We think our [Ab] South American neighbors are [F] grand, we love them [Gb] to beat the band.
[Eb] South America, bop-a-loo, bop-a-loo, aye-aye, bop-a-loo.
One favor you can do, aye-aye, you can do.
[Gm]
[Dm] [Gb] You beautiful lands below, [F] don't know what you [Bb] began.
To put [Gm] it plainly, I'm kinda shaken to [Fm] that Pan-American plan.
[Gb]
[Bbm] [Ab] Take back your samba, aye, your rumba, aye, your conga.
Aye-aye-aye.
[Bbm]
I can't keep moving, [Ab] aye, my chassis, aye, any longer.
Aye-aye-aye.
Now maybe [Ebm] Latin's high, and their [D] metal's high, I feel [Gb] stronger, aye [Ab]-aye-aye.
But all is taken to the quaking, and [E] this faking, with the shaking, leaves [Fm] me aching.
Oy-ay.
First you shake around and settle [Gb] there, then [Db] you shake around and settle [Bm] here,
[Bbm] then you shake around and settle there.
That's enough, that's enough, take it back, my spine's out of whack.
There's a [Db] strange click-clack in the back of my [Eb] sacroiliac.
[Ab] Take back your conga, aye, your samba, aye, [Bbm] your rumba.
Aye [Ab]-aye-aye.
Why can't you send us, aye, a less strenuous [Eb] [Gb] number?
Aye [Ab]-aye-aye.
I [Eb] got more bumps now, [D] I'm head on an eye [Db] cucumber.
Aye [Ab]-aye-aye.
While all those Latin drums are clopping, [E] like a jumping jack, I'm hopping, [Fm] without stopping.
Oy [D]-ay.
[Ebm] South America, [Ab] [Eb] [Db] take it away.
First you shake around and [B] settle [D] there, and [Abm] then you shake around and settle [D] here,
and then you shake around and settle there.
[Abm] That's enough, that's enough, [Gb] take it back, my spine's [Db] out of whack.
There's [Bbm] a strange click-clack in the back of my [Gm] sacroiliac.
Oh, my aching back, [Ab] take back your conga, aye, your samba, aye, your rumba.
Aye-aye-aye.
Bring back [Bb] the old days, aye, [Ab] your fancy [Ebm] hiring number.
Aye [Ab]-aye-aye.
[Ebm] My hips are cracky, aye, [Bb] and shrieking, aye, [Gb] caramba, [Ab] aye-aye-aye.
I got [Eb] a wrinkle and a dibble and [Dbm] a jiggle like a fiddle in my [Bbm] middle.
Oy-aye.
This man's a squishing [Ebm] imposition, [Bb] wears out all of my transmission ammunition.
[Ab] Oy-aye.
Relations, all this crazy, two gyrations, try my patience.
Oy [Gbm]-aye.
[C]
[Db] Take it away.
