Verse 1
G
Bamboo
Gm
G
Annie lived in New Caledonia,
she didn't have no shoes
And G .I. Joe came from Kokomo
with a case of the G .I. Blues
C
To say the least, they fell in love
He promised her a brand new car
G
But Joe shipped out the very next week
On his shoulder was a BAR
D
Now Annie, she lived there all of her life
And Joe was just passing through
G
That's the way things were
down in New Caledonia
Bb
Gm
G
Back in 1942
Now Annie, she waited patiently,
dreaming of a life with Joe,
a brand new car,
and some little kids,
and a home in Kokomo.
C
And Joe was out in the jungle,
and mud up to his knees,
G
thinking about Annie down
in New Caledonia,
walking in the ocean breeze.
D
Now they both knew they had real love,
but their love would never come true
G
That's the way things were
down in New Caledonia

Now Joe was a fighting hero,
as a soldier he was one of the best
But on the front line he
got unlucky one time
and Joe caught a bullet in the chest
C
Now, Annie,
she still holds her pictures of Joe
He's standing by his automobile
G
He's all decked out in his uniform
To Annie he was dressed to kill
D
And nobody ever told Annie
So I guess she never knew
G
That's the way things were
down in New Caledonia
