[INTRO]
[Gm]There's a danger[D7] zone, [Gm]not a stranger[D7sus4] zone [D+] [D]
[Gm] [Gm7] [Cm7] [Cm6] [A7]-9 [A7]-5 [A7] [D7]
Than the little plot I walk on that I call my home.
[Gm]Full of eerie [D7]sights, [Gm]weird and skeerie [D7sus4]sights [D+] [D]
[Gm] [Cm7] [Cm6] [A7]-9 [D7] [Gm7]
Ev'ry vicious animal that creeps and crawls and bites.
[VERSE 1]
[D7]On the [G]Amazon [Em7] the prophy[Am7]lactics [D7]prowl,
On the [G]Amazon [Em7] the hypo[Am7]dermics [D7]howl,
On the [G]Amazon [Em7] you'll hear a [Am6]scarab [D7]scowl
[G] [E7] [Am7] [A7]-5 [D7]
And sting, zodiacs on the wing.
All the [G]stalactites [Em7] and vicious [Am7]vertebr[D7]ae
Hunt the [G]stalagmites [Em7] while lary[Am7]ngitis [D7]slay
All the [G]parasites [Em7] that come from [Am6]Paraguay in [Am7]Spring...[D7]mmmmmm
[Dm7/G]Snarling [C]equinox a[Cm]mong the rocks will [G]seize [F#] [F] [E]you,
[E7]And the [A7]Fahrenheit comes [Am]out at night to [D9]freeze you.
[D7]Wild du[G]odenum [Em7]are lurking [Am7]in the [D7]trees
And the [G]jungle swarms [Em7]with green a[Am6]postrop[D7]hes.
Oh, the [G]Amazon [Em]is [Am7]call-[D7]ing [G]me. [C#dim] [Am7]
[C#dim] [Am7]
[VERSE 2]
[D7]On the [G]Amazon [Em7] the pax [Am7]vobiscum[D7] bite,
On the [G]Amazon [Em7] the ep[Am7]iglottis[D7] fight,
On the [G]Amazon [Em7] the hemispher[Am6]es at night all [D7]slink,
[G] [E7] [Am7] [A7]-5 [D7]
Where the agnostics drink.
All the [G]hippodromes [Em7] that lie con[Am7]cealed in [D7]mud
Join the [G]metronomes [Em7] that live i[Am7]n swamp and [D7]flood;
Then the [G]kodachromes[Em7] come out and d[Am6]rink their b[Am7]lood, Poor[D7] ginks.
[Dm7/G]While vel[C]ocipedes [Cm]among the weeds will[G] scare [F#] [F] y[E]ou,
[E7]And the [A7]menopause with hu[Am]ngry jaws ensnar[D9]es you.
[D7]Frenzie[G]d adenoids [Em7] infest [Am7]the hills and s[D7]lopes,
Ev'ry on[G]e avoids [Em7] the dea[Am6]dly stethos[D7]copes.
Oh, the [G]Amazon [Em]is [Am7]call-i[D7]ng,
Yes, the [G]Amazon [Em]is c[Am7]all-i[D7]ng,
Oh, the [G]Amazon [Em]is [Am7]call-[D7]ing [G] me.
