A         D         A         E
A oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma
  A         D         A         E
A oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma


[Verse 1]
            A                   D
Deep in the jungle, he lost her favor
        A                     E
Another gambit, he would have made her
            A                     D
He gave her perfume, she used his razor
      A        E          A
And decided to change his ways


[Verse 2]
          A                  D
She was a gambler, he didn't blame her
          A             E
She had a dimple in her favor
            A                 D
At the last minute, he always chased her
      A        E          A
And decided to change his ways


[Chorus]
              D              A
Life would be so much more exciting
            E              A
If we could live it day by day
            D                A
We could at least adjust the lighting
     B7           E
To illuminate the way


[Verse 3]
            A                      D
He took the loving that she'd been craving
           A              E
She took advantage of the saving;
          A              D
It almost ruined her reputation
       A        E         A
And decided to change his ways


[Bridge]
      A                  D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
      A                  E
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee
      A                  D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
      A        E        A
Yo de lay hee, lay hee, lay hee

[Chorus]
              D              A
Life would be so much more exciting
            E              A
If we could live it day by day
            D                A
We could at least adjust the lighting
      B7          E
To illuminate the way


[Verse 4]
           A                  D
She wasn't crazy 'bout his behavior
            A                E
She read it somewhere in the paper
         A             D
He was seducing a ballerina
       A       E          A
And decided to change his ways


[Bridge]
      A                  D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
      A                  E
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee
      A                  D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
      A                   E
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee


[Repeat Intro - Break it down to sparse chords]
  A         D         A         E
A oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma
  A         D         A         E
A oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma,  a oooma


[Verse 5]
            A                   D
Deep in the jungle, he lost her favor
        A                     E
Another gambit, he would have made her
            A                     D
He gave her perfume, she used his razor
      A        E             A        B7
And decided to change, and decided to change....
     A         E         A
He decided to change his ways
