 -5  -4 -3 -3
Poin-ci-an-a, 
 3     -3   -4  -5   -4 -3 3   -2
your branch-es speak to me of love
-1*   -1* -1* -2   3
Pale moon is cast-ing 
 -3*  3   -2 -1* -1
Shad-ows from a-bove
 -5  -4 -3 -3
Poin-ci-an-a, 
 3   -3 -4  -5  -4  -3   3   -2
Some-how I feel the jun-gle heat
 -2 -1* -1*  -1*   -2
With-in me, there grows 
3  -3*    3   -2  -1*  -1
a rhythm-mic, sav-age beat

it's mag-ic per-fume fills the air

To and fro you sway, 
-3    4   -3*  -3
my heart's in time, 
 3     -2*   3   -5
I've learned to care

Poin-ci-an-a, 
   3    -3   -4   -5
Though skies may turn 
 -4   -3  3   -2
from blue to gray
-1* -1* -1*   -2   3 -3* 3
My love will live for-ev-er 
-2 -1* -1
and a day

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
