In the Jungle The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh), cover

Speaking (or singing) of peaceful villages, here is a link to George Cloony's Satellite Sentinal Project, where they use Satellite images of troop movements to help deter a possible war and genocide in Sudan.

I was wondering what Wimoweh means - found this: "Wimoweh" is a mishearing of the chorus of 'uyimbube' (meaning "he is a lion")

Solomon Popoli Linda or Solomon Ntsele, known by his clan name "Linda",[1] (1909 -- 8 October 1962) was a South African Zulu musician, singer and composer who wrote the song "Mbube" which later became the popular music success "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".

My chords are just D, G, D and A7

Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)
(a song recorded by Solomon Linda and his group The Evening Birds for the South African Gallo Record Company in 1939)

Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh
Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh
Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh (4X)

/ G C G D / / / G C / G D / :

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

/ G C / G D / :

{Refrain}
Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh (2X)
Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh (2X)

Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight

{Refrain}

Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight

{Refrain
