Hey there, I have enjoyed every single one of tally hall's songs. My whole high school senior group loved it so much in fact that we sign it almost every day at lunch. it may sound funky but its really fun to see the faces of the passing students.

Anyways, i wanted to (eventually) bring my guitar and play the song. i dont know exactly how well it would sound just on guitar, and im a beginner but i have been attempting to figure out the chords on my own. so far my work has been in vein, i was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some pointers as to what the chords are .

I just like goofing off with my friends , i thought that accompanying it with a good ol' fasioned guitar would make it much more enjoyable.


thanks!

I don't play guitar, but I'm a music major, and from what I can tell the entire song is I, IV and V, which would be D, G and A major respectively, so that the beginning would go... D D D A A A D D D A A A D D G D A D G D A D and so on. I will listen again to be sure there are no other chords in the accompaniment (there are vocal harmonies, but I'd assume you wouldn't need to play those)...

ah, yes... It's 9:00, and it's getting dark includes some chromatic passing chords, which sound vaguely like D9, E-flat7 and then just E before the A on "sky," and then I don't think it does anything else. Actual people who play this stuff, help me out here?

yeah, i thought it was D, A, G... maybe its just the way im playing it on my guitar ^_^. maybe i just wasnt singing loud enough :P

thanks a lot for the help!

Yep, that's it. Conveniently simple, although it sounds nothing like the recording, cause they do all kinds of fun arpeggiation and stuff. However, let there be born a movement of grassroots Banana Man guitar-versions! I would sing with you.

There is a bass tab for Two Wuv on ultimate-guitar.com. somebody should start a thread for tabs, know all of us are dying to play some of teh hall.

Tabbed a bit...

(I think you get the point from now on. Here are the rest of the lyrics…)
Look you come to the bungalo
Africans you tell me dont you so
Dont you love the pumping of the drum
Make you shake until the bum go numb
Let the bungo play you till you drop
Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop)

Forget all your troubles and go with the flow
Forget about whatever you may never know
Like whether whatever you are doing is whatever you should and whether anything you do is every really any good
And then Forget about banana when it sticks in your throat
And when they make you wanna bellow but your stuck in a choke and you forget about the yell from the colorful men that'll make you take another and make a mock of your plan

Bungale Bungalo make up your mind and tell me no ummmm shhh

Well its nine o'clock and its getting dark
and the sun is falling from the sky
I've never left so early and you may wonder why
*whistle*

Tomorow morning on the plane
No banana make you go insane
Floating back to busy town
No banana make you want to frown

Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana)
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for
you

Well... I almost got all the lyrics on my own.

Only part i was off on, but it's understandable because that is where it starts to pick up and i lose track of it.

I'm massively happy i know what it is they say now.

PEOPLE, people......... stop the insanity. Here are official lyrics:

look you
come to de bungalow
african't you tell me told you so
don't you love de bumping of de drum
make you shake until de bum go numb
let de bongo play you till you drop
dis banana never stop

forget all your troubles and go with the flow
forget about whatever you may never know
like whether whatever you doing is whatever you should
and whether anything you do is ever anything good
and then
forget about banana when it stick in your throat
and when it make you wanna bellow but you stuck in a choke
and then forget about de yellow from de colorful man
who make you take another one and make a mock of your plan
