Intro:

G  Em  C  D (x4)

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

Pre-Chorus:

       C   G
I say Oooh-La
       C   G
I say Oooh-La
       C   G
I say Oooh-La

Verse 2:

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

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

Pre-Chorus:

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

  G A

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

A

Verse 3:
                     E
I went out to see my sister
            A
She was not in
                        E
So I went and bought a paper
            A
Then I returned
                       E
She was well into the racing
        A
On the TV
                         D
She has never been that fond of me
            E
I went and turned her over

A

Chorus:
                          D               E
See I'd been living in a different world
                      A        F#m
Then I was nutted by reality
                         D
I had been living in another tree
     E
Then I flew down
    D
To see what happens

A

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

A

Chorus:
                           D                E
See I'd been living in a different world
                        A       F#m
Then I was nutted by reality
                          D
I had been barking up another tree
     E
Then I flew down
    D
To see what happened
