G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD (x4)

Verse 1:
     G+G          E minorEm
Well I heard they castrated Castro
       C majorC           G+G
I heard they cut off everything he had
    G+G       E minorEm
What a dirty low down thing to do
  C majorC        G+G
To mess him up like that
   G+G        E minorEm
They dumped him in a jungle
    C majorC         G+G
In the land of the sugar cane
   G+G         E minorEm
Ever since the day they fiddled around
      C majorC          G+G
I said he ain’t never been the same

Pre-Chorus:

    C majorC  G+G
I say Oooh-La
    C majorC  G+G
I say Oooh-La
    C majorC  G+G
I say Oooh-La

Verse 2:

    G+G          E minorEm
Well I heard they castrated Castro
  C majorC             G+G
Because he was the people's friend
   G+G           E minorEm
They told him once and they told him twice
    C majorC          G+G
Said I ain’t gonna tell you again

   G+G      E minorEm
They put a bit of pressure on him
        C majorC            G+G
That's when he told them what they could do
    G+G           E minorEm
So the word came down from a northern town
      C majorC      G+G
"Set up a jungle rendezvous"

Pre-Chorus:

    C majorC  G+G
I say Oooh-La
    C majorC  G+G
I say Oooh-La
    C majorC  G+G
We say Oooh-La

Chorus:
             D MajorD         E MajorE
He had been living in a different world
            A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Then he was nutted by reality
             D MajorD
He had been living in another tree
   E MajorE
Then he flew down
  D MajorD
To see what happened

I went out to see my sister

She was not in
            E MajorE
So I went and bought a paper
      A augmentedA
Then I returned
            E MajorE
She was well into the racing
    A augmentedA
On the TV
             D MajorD
She has never been that fond of me
      E MajorE
I went and turned her over

A augmentedA

             D MajorD        E MajorE
See I'd been living in a different world

I had been living in another tree
   E MajorE
Then I flew down
  D MajorD
To see what happens

Verse 4:
            E MajorE
I was listening to an echo
      A augmentedA
I was impressed
             E MajorE
Even though I could not see it
      A augmentedA
It was the most
           E MajorE        A augmentedA
I was jumping and a-gleeing at every one
           D MajorD
I was speaking in a foreign tongue
       E MajorE
My pleasure gave no pleasure

A augmentedA

              D MajorD        E MajorE

Then I was nutted by reality
             D MajorD
I had been barking up another tree
   E MajorE
Then I flew down
  D MajorD
To see what happened
