Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]
Oh, [G]no!
Not [D]he!
[A]How you can accuse him is a [D]mystery
Save [G]him!
Take [D]me!
Ben[A]jamin is straighter than [D]the tall palm tree
I hear the steel drums [G]sing their song
[A]They're singing, "man,
you know you've [D]got it
[Bm]Wrong." I hear the [D]voice
of [G]the yellow bird [A]singing
In the tree, "this is [D]quite absurd." Oh, yes
Oh, [G]yes
It's [D]true
It's true
Ben[A]jamin is straighter
than the [D]big bamboo
No if's
[G]No if's
No but[D]s
No buts
[A]Benjamin is honest as [D]coconuts
Sure as the tide wash the [G]golden sand,
[A]Benjamin is an [D]innocent man
[Bm]Sure as [D]bananas [G]need the sun,
[A]we are the criminal [D]guilty ones
Oh, no
Oh, [G]no
[D]Not he
Not he
[A]How you can accuse him
is a [D]mystery
Save him!
Save [G]him!
Take [D]me!
Take me!
[A]Benjamin is straighter than
the [D]tall palm tree
[G]La, La, [Bm]La, [D]La, La, La, [A]La,
La, La, [D]La, [G]La, La, La, La
La, [D]La, La, La, La, [A]La, La, La, La,
La, [D]La, [G]La, La, La
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Not he!
[D]Not he!
How you can accuse him
is a mystery
Save him!
Save him!
[A]Take me!
Take me!
Benjamin is straighter than
[D]the tall palm tree
Sure as the tide wash the golden [G]sand,
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need [D]the sun,
we are the criminal guilty ones
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
[A]Not he!
Not he!
How you can accuse him is [D]a mystery
Save him!
Save him!
Take me!
Take me!
Benjamin is straighter
[G]than the tall palm tree
La, [D]La, [A]La
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Not he!
[D]Not he!
Not he!
How you can accuse him
is a mystery
Save him!
Ooh- ooh
[G]Take me!
Benjamin is straighter than
the tall [D]palm tree
Each of the brothers fell to his knees,
oh
Show him some mercy, oh, Mighty
[A]One, please
He would not do this, he
must have been framed
Jail us and beat [D]us, we should be blamed
