#1.
G#            C#               G#
I recall just walking down the street..trying to 
  C#            G#
escape the city heat.
  C#                            G#
I saw her from the corner of my eye, eye, eye.
G#                  C#                 G#
Yeah, she looked so good I thought I'd die.

CHORUS:
G#            C#                 A#
My heart went bang-shang-a-lang, bang-shang-a-lang..
D#                       G#
bang shang-a-lang, bang, bang.
G#                               A#
My heart went bang-shang-a-lang, bang-shang-a-lang..
D#                       G#

#2.
G#               C#                 G#
Something said I shouldn't waste no time..if I'm ever 
C#             G#
gonna make her mine.
  C#                                   G#
I walked right up and said, how do you do, do, do.
G#                C#            G#
She said, I bet I do as good as you.

CHORUS:
G#            C#                 A#
My heart went bang-shang-a-lang, bang-shang-a-lang..
D#                       G#
bang shang-a-lang, bang, bang.
G#                               A#
My heart went bang-shang-a-lang, bang-shang-a-lang..
D#                       G#
bang shang-a-lang, bang, bang.

BRIDGE:
G#                                 C#
I remember when I held her tight..(bang-shang-a-lang.)
G#                                C#
Felt like holding dynamite, now..(bang-shang-a-lang.)
C#
What's that ringing in my ear..(bang-shang-a-lang.)
G#
Tell me, ain't those bells I hear?..(bang-shang-a-lang.)

Bang, bang, bang..shang-a-lang-lang..bang-bang-bang..

shang-a-lang-lang..

#3.
G#               C#                  G#
Now, she's gonna spend her life with me.
G#               C#           G#
Then we'll be as happy as can be.
  C#                               G#
Because I love her more than I can tell, tell, tell..
G#          C#                  G#
Sunday afternoon we'll hear the bells.
