[Intro 1]
[Bb][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Bamboo
Annie lived in New Caledoni[Gm]a,[G]
she didn't have no shoes
And G .I. Joe came from Kokomo
with a case of the G .I. Blues
To [C]say the least, they fell in love
He promised her a brand new car
But [G]Joe shipped out the very next week
On his shoulder was a BAR
Now [D]Annie, she lived there all of her life
And Joe was just passing through
That's the [G]way things were
down in New Caledonia
Back in [Bb]1942[Gm][G]
Now Annie, she waited patiently,
dreaming of a life with Joe,
a brand new car,
and some little kids,
and a home in Kokomo.
And [C]Joe was out in the jungle,
and mud up to his knees,
thinking [G]about Annie down
in New Caledonia,
walking in the ocean breeze.
Now [D]they both knew they had real love,
but their love would never come true
That's the [G]way things were
down in New Caledonia
back in [Gm]1942[Bb][Gm][G]
[Gm][D][G][Gm][D][G][Gm]
[G]Now Joe was a fighting hero,
as a soldier he was one of the best
But on the front line he
got unlucky one time
and Joe caught a bullet in the chest
[C]Now, Annie,
she still holds her pictures of Joe
He's standing by his automobile
He's [G]all decked out in his uniform
To Annie he was dressed to kill
And [D]nobody ever told Annie
So I guess she never knew
That's the [G]way things were
down in New Caledonia
Back in 1942, [Bb]y 'a[Gm]ll[G][Gm][G][Bb]
