VERSE 
Am     F 
 Every night 
G         Em 
 In Jungletown 
Am       C              G        D5 E 
 All the boogies in the street 
Am  F 
 Radios  
G          Em 
 Turned up very loud 
        F 
Playin' Dancing Queen 
     Eb   Bb  F C 
They love our music 


INTERLUDE 
Am       F                  G

VERSE 
Am            F   G               Em 
 This English girl from the North somewhere 
Am          C             G       D5 E 
 Is stayin' with me at my place 
Am           F 
 Drinkin' up all my beer 
G                      Em 
Talkin' about the poor niggers all the time 
F 
   It's a real disgrace, she says 


BRIDGE 
Am           F                         G 
 I tell her, Darling, don't talk about things 
               Em 
You don't understand 
Am           F   
 I tell her, Darling, don't talk about something 
G                        Em 
You don't know anything about 
Am           F  
 I tell her, Darling, if you don't like it here 
   G                Eb-5 
Go back to your own miserable country
