Em I've seen the city I took the next flight D For Borneo Em They say it's pretty I like the tee shirts D In Borneo Some wear Bob Marley Others in Playboy Or Duvalier Make the last plane come Let me rise through the cloudy above With a book on Borneo A Strangers come and go G#m It's such a waste of time A Problems far behind G#m E Another day A But even in springtime G#m It's a rich slice of life D So send me a letter Chorus: D Em C G (We'll meet in borneo) I'll reply with a broken spear (We are *unclear*) That dusky mulatto (We'll meet in borneo) In nylons and tattoos (I like the free world) Hot juice in coke bottles (We'll meet in borneo) We dance in the sand (We are *unclear*) Well, they twirl and they tumble (Tumble and twirl) Yes, they twirl and they tumble (Tumble and twirl) Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble (Tumble and twirl) I've been to Leon's He's got nine daughters And a stereo (Stereo) They say that Leon Watches from the tree tops In Borneo (Borneo) When the road is mud Everything stops with a thud That's the way it goes Way down yonder in Borneo Far beneath his mansion There's an open drain Sending all the sewage down the hill But when the general shows movies No one hesitates To sneak from the jungle Chorus: (We'll meet in borneo) They laugh and they mumble (We are *unclear*) Enjoying the show (We'll meet in borneo) And that dusky mulatto (I like the free world) Hot juice in coke bottles (We'll meet in borneo) In blue jeans and tattoos (We are *unclear*) Well, they twirl and they tumble (Tumble and twirl) Yes, they twirl and they tumble (Tumble and twirl) Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble (Tumble and twirl) I like the free world (I like the free word) They say it's pretty (tumble and twirl) This time of year (I like the free word) They tumble and twirl (tumble and twirl) I'll tumble and twirl | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA C D E Em G G#m Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
