Tanjong Chek Jawa
C                                                    Am
Tanjong Chek Jawa, mangrove forest shiny sea
                           G
We walk your shoreline of life
              C              F
As you wait for the coming tide.
C                                                          Am
Tanjong Chek Jawa, days we spend beneath the burning sun
                       G
The pleasures that we receive
             C                  F                   G       C
For the wonders and treasures you freely give.
             Am     Em       F        Em
     The Halo-phila and Avicennia
             Dm            Em             F                  G
     The hermits, the carpets, the pens and the slugs.
     The fiddler, the skipper and lone Priscilla
     The dollars, the horseshoe, the crabs and the stars.

The algae, the cowrie and the anemone
The nudi, the jelly, the squirts and the sponge.
The rocky, the sandy and the very muddy
The children, the students, the old and the young.
