Hi, Tedd - I think the song you refer to is usually called Bamboo (click). I have to say that I think this song is best sung without instrumental accompaniment. It is a perfect a cappella song.

Try these two chords. Or if you prefer, D and C, or A and G, etc.

G
You take a stick of bum-bo,

    F
You take a stick of bum-bo,

    G
You take a stick of bum-bo,

    F                  G
You throw it on the wa-ter.

         F       G
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Han-nah!

            F                G
Ri-ver, oh, ri-ver, she come down.

            F                G
Ri-ver, oh, ri-ver, she come down.


Best of luck.
