[Verse 1]
Gm
It was far across the sea, when the devil got a hold of me,
F Gm
He wouldn't set me free, so he kept me soul for ransom.
Gm
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
F Gm
Na na na na na, na na na na na na na
[Verse 2]
Gm Bb F/A
I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town, I've roamed this world around and round,
Gm Gm F Gm
He's the meanest thing that I have found, in all me days of wandering.
Gm Bb F/A
Na na na na na na na na, na na, na na na na
Gm Gm F Gm
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
[Verse 3]
Gm F
And I could see his evil eyes, was then he took me by surprise,
Gm F Gm
Take me to your paradise, I want to see the jungle!
Gm F
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Gm F Gm
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
[Chorus]
Gm Bb F/A
Here we go again; we're on the road again
Gm F
We're on the road again; we're on our way to paradise.
Bb F/A
We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps,
Gm F
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise.
Gm
Graffiti on the wall just as the sun was going down
F
I see graffiti on the wall - up the Celts! up the Celts!
Gm
Graffiti on the wall, it says we're magic, we're magic,
F Gm F Gm
Graffiti on the wall, graffiti on the wall...
And it says
Gm F Gm F F Gm
Ooh ah up the 'Ra, say ooh ah up the 'Ra (x6)
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Gm
We went through each jungle deep, for the paradise that we did seek,
F Gm
‘Twas no trip for the weak, we're waltzing with the natives.
Gm
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
F Gm
Na na na na na, na na na na na na na
[Verse 5]
Gm Bb F/A
From the Amazon to Borneo, from Africa to Tokyo,
Gm Gm F Gm
To the darkest jungles of the world, but nowhere could I lose him!
Gm Bb F/A
Na na na na na na na na, na na, na na na na
Gm Gm F Gm
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
[Verse 6]
Gm F
Around in circles every way, he turned to me and he did say,
Gm F Gm
"I think you're leading me astray, I want your soul, me boyo!"
Gm F
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Gm F Gm
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na
[Chorus]
Gm Bb F/A
Here we go again; we're on the road again
Gm F
We're on the road again; we're on our way to paradise.
Bb F/A
We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps,
Gm F
For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise.
Gm
Graffiti on the wall just as the sun was going down
F
I see graffiti on the wall - up the Celts! up the Celts!
Gm
Graffiti on the wall, it says we're magic, we're magic,
F Gm F Gm
Graffiti on the wall, graffiti on the wall...
It says
Gm F Gm F F Gm
Ooh ah up the 'Ra, say ooh ah up the 'Ra (x6)
