You can get the strum here. It sounds like "Angelina".
Good calypso strum lesson here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D49goLVPAVs
Original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5wxNUpmMF0 (yes, the steel drum is a bit out of tune at the start!)
Harry Belafonte - Angelina
(capo 1st fret)
Intro - D – G – A – D = 4x's
(chorus)
D G A D
Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
G A A7 D
And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea
(verse 1)
D G D
Yes it's so long since I've been home
D G A
Seems like there's no place to roam
D G D
Well I've sailed around the Horn
G
I've been from San Jose up to Baffin Bay
D A D
And I've rode out many a storm
(chorus)
(verse 2)
Well I've heard the bawdy tunes
I've been in honkytonk saloons
I took my liquor by the vat
Well I stayed on call for a rousing brawl
Home was where I hung my hat
(chorus)
(verse 3)
Now I've courted many a girl
I've been in ports all around the world
But my rambling days are done
I've been from Curacao up to Tokyo
And I've found there's only one

[Dm]Theres a new game
We like to [G]play you [F]see
[Dm]A game with added re[G]ali[A]ty
You [Dm]treat me like a dog
Get me [G]down on my [Bb]knees
[Dm]We call it [G]master and [F]servant
[Dm]We call it [G]master and [F]servant
It’s [Dm]lot like life
This [G]play between the [F]sheets
With [Dm]you on top and [G]me under[A]neath
[Dm]Forget all about equ[G]ali[Bb] ty
[Dm]We call it [G]master and [F]servant
[Dm]We call it [G]master and [f]servant
[Gm]Its a lot like life
And([C])thats whats ([Bb])appealing
If[Gm]you despise that ([C])throwaway ([Bb])feeling
From [Gm]disposable fun
Then [A]this is the one [A][G][F][E][Dm]
Dominations the name of the game
In bed or in life
Theyre both just the same
Except in one youre fulfilled
At the end of the day
Lets play master and servant
Lets play master and servant
Lets play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
