Sungi tembeling - Words and Music by Keith Sutcliffe ---------------------------------------------------- Bm Bm/F# Bm7/A Bm Bm/F# Bm7/A 15 miles up the sungi tembeling Bm Bm/F# Bm7/A 15 miles up the sungi tembeling F#m In the tall trees is where the monkey swings Bm Bm/F# Bm7/A And he's 15 miles up the sungi tembeling The rain is falling hard Its pouring down on me An' on the river man and its where I want to be And I can see the sky through a canopy of trees And I'm the river man and its where I wanna be CHORUS 15 miles up the sungi tembeling 15 miles up the sungi tembeling I see them with there nets, the native fishermen And they're 15 miles up the sungi tembeling Parked it on a log Ah the smell of clove A cloud of smoke In the air arose I spy a turtle And then a snake A clap of thunder And you awake There's a caymen on a log A lizard in a tree There's oxen in the water A mosquito on my knee -- STOP -- CHORUS The rivers flow is strong You know it looks like milky tea Its swollen from the rain and the run off through the trees And hey - what's that sound A chorus from the sky There's thousands in the choir As I here the insects cry -- STOP -- CHORUS END RIFF Bm G F# In the afternoon you can see the jungle steam And there's clouds of vapor rising from a sweet abyss of green The worries of the day, well there lost within a dream Its about a girl from bangkok with a smile that’s so serene 15 miles up the sungi tembeling I say we're 15 miles up the sungi tembeling NOTE - Chords shown are actual notes played. I play this by capo on 2nd fret however, therefor I would play a Bm using an Am chord pattern.
