Okay, this didn't happen to me but I do remember summer camps and older teenage counslers and stuff like that so I guess it could have happened.
Must Have Been the Kum Ba Yah By Jeff Gilpin – March 12, 2007
I was [A]thinking way back when I [D]heard my first camp fire [A]song
The crackling fire gave off an eerie [E]glow
I’m not [A]sure what she was playing but you’d [D]think that I would [A]know
I [A]guess it must a [E]been Kum Ba [A]Yah
chorus:
Kum ba [A]yah my lord, [D]Kum Ba [A]Yah
Kum ba [A]yah my lord, [D]Kum ba [E]yah
Kum ba [A]yah my lord [D]Kum ba [A]yah
[D]Oh [A]lord [E]Kum ba [A]yah
[A]I was just a na�ve kid, [D]clueless of the [A]world
But I tell you now she had me mesme[E]rized
[A]Lit up by the firelight she was [D]strumming soft and [A]sure
I [A]guess it must have [E]been the Kum ba [A]yah
chorus
break
And [D]as she softly sang she urged us [A]all to sing along
She was [E]lit up like an angel in the [A]pines
And [D]while every one was singing [A]I just stared and stood
[B7]Lost in thoughts a little before my [E]time
Of [A]course she didn’t notice me as I [D]stood out with the [A]rest
But you know what, I didn’t even [E]care
I was [A]caught up in a moment on a [D]magic summer [A]night
I [A]guess it must have [E]been the Kum Ba [A]yah
chorus X2
