THAT BANANA THERE

Composed by: Michael P.

Capo: 1st fret

[Hunh! Ha! Hunh! Ha! (C)Eio! (G)Eio!
(D7)That banana, (G)ooh, that banana!
(C)Eio! (G)Eio! (D9)Ooh, that banana!]

The (G)other day I was eating a banana,
When this little thought (D7)came to me.
Somebody had to work so very hard to
Make this banana come to (G)be.
Well, they (G)worked all day down on some plantation,
Underneath the (G7)burning (C)sun.
And with (D7)out a second thought,
I pop it in my mouth, and [gulp]
Suddenly that banana's (G)gone!

Chorus 1
Well, (C)it's so easy (G)to forget
(D7)All of the hard work, (G)time and sweat
(C)So many people (G)had to invest
To (A7)bring that banana to (D)me!
All of the (D7)clearing [clearing],
Plowing [plowing], (G)planting [planting],
Watering [watering], (D7)fertilizing [fertilizing],
Harvesting [harvesting], (G)transporting [transporting],
And the (G7)marketing [the marketing].
(C)When on these things I (G)meditate,
(D7)It helps me to ap(G)preciate
(C)All of the hard work, (G)time and (Em7)care
That (Am7)went into the making
(D7)Of that banana there!

[(G)Hunh! Ha! That banana,
(G7)ooh, (C)that bana(C#)na(D)na!
Hunh! (D9)Ha!(D9)-(D7)-(G)]

Many (G)things in life are just like that banana,
A lot goes on that we (D7)never see.
There is so much that we all take for granted
That must be planned so careful(G)ly.
Like the (G)food we eat, the clothes that we are wearing,
And the inventions (G7)we em(C)ploy.
Oh, we (D7)just flip a switch, to turn the power on,
And they're ready for us to en(G)joy.

Chorus 2
Oh, (C)it's so easy (G)to forget
(D7)All of the hard work, (G)time and sweat
(C)So many people (G)had to invest
To (A7)make life easier for (D)us.
All of the (D7)thinking [thinking],
Planning [planning], (G)trying [trying],
And failing [failing], ex(D7)perimenting [experimenting],
Analyzing [analyzing], the (G)hard work [hard work]
Before suc(G7)ceeding [succeeding].
(C)When on these things I (G)meditate,
(D7)It helps me to ap(G)preciate
(C)All of the hard work, (G)time and (Em7)care
That (Am7)went into the making [the (D7)making]
Of that ba(G)nana there!

Oh, (C)when on these things I (G)meditate,
(C)It helps me to ap(G)preciate
(C)All of the hard work, (G)time and (Em7)care
That (Am7)went into the making [the (D7)making]
Of that ba(G)nana there!

[Hunh! Ha! Hunh! Ha!
(C)Eio! (G)Eio! (G6)That banana!]
