-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

-1* -2 3 -3 -3*
Love is ev-‘ry-where,
-3 4 -3* -3 3 -2* 3 -3
it’s mag-ic per-fume fills the air
-1* -2 3 -3 -3*
To and fro you sway,
-3 4 -3* -3
my heart’s in time,
3 -2* 3 -5
I’ve learned to care
-5 -4 -3 -3
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
