Version 1This original version became a big hit in UK in 1976 It is in Bb so I have used these chords and placed a capo at first fret to help novice players There is a great opportunity for a bass player in the intro and later to add rhythm to the "jungle effect" 4/4 time 168 bpm [Intro] E A E A [Verse 1] A I was walkin' through the jungle just the other night A Well, I heard a big rumble and I thought it was a fight E We were lost and we listened and began to move my feet A It was a jungle drum a, doin' a knocked out beat [Chorus] A It was a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock D A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock E A knocked out beat and I had to move my feet A It was a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock [Verse 2] A Well, I moved a little closer just to get a better view A I saw a chimp and a monkey a-doin' the Suzie Q E Well, a gator and a hippo was-a doin' the bop A While a great big falcon was-a makin' me hop [Chorus] A It was a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock D A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock E A knocked out beat and I had to move my feet A It was a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock [Bridge] A x4 D x2 A x2 E x2 A x2 [Verse 3] A Well, the fox grabbed the rabbit and did the bunny, hop A And all the fish stepped by and was a-cuttin' the rug E Well, a camel was a jitterbuggin' with a kangaroo A And the elephant was movin' with a ring, dang, doo [Chorus] A It was a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock D A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock E A knocked out beat and I had to move my feet A It was a jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock [Outro] A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock A A jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle rock... fade out Peace and love Kevin
