Song
So here's a reggae song about a centipede. I'm not even making that up.
It's an easy song by Loggins and Messina and just as long as you remember
to keep a reggae beat, you shouldn't have any problems.
Chords:
G: 3x0003
D7: xx0212
C: x32010
D: xx0232
Intro:
Verse 1:
I was sitting at a table in an open cafe
Waiting for drink of rum
When I asked my waiter for the time of day
He said, "Look out! There's a centipede coming your way!"
Chorus:
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangos are sweet
But the centipede, he crawls all over your feet
Verse 2:
I was laying by the water in the morning sun
Shaded by a coconut tree
When I turned around, it was all I could see
There was great big centipede staring at me
Chorus:
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangos are sweet
But the centipede he crawls all over your feet
Bridge:
Boh doh doh doh boh boh
Boh boh doh doh doh
Boh doh doh doh boh doh
Boh doh doh doh boh boh
Boh boh doh doh doh
Boh doh doh doh boh doh
Verse 3:
I had only just a second to decide what to do
While looking at his poisonous fangs
When i said i thought it was a beautiful day
He said "Look out, Mister Haole! I think you're pushing my leg."
Chorus:
In Lahaina, the sugar cane grow
In Lahaina, the living is slow
In Lahaina, the mangos are sweet
But the centipede, he crawls all over your feet
Outro:
Boh doh doh doh boh boh
Boh boh doh doh doh
Boh doh doh doh boh doh
Boh doh doh doh boh boh
Boh boh doh doh doh
Boh doh doh doh boh doh
Repeat the outro until the end of the song.
