Am F C
This is the story of a very unfortunate coloured man
E E7 Am
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
Am F C
He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him
E E7 Am
When he kicked old Buddha's gong
G C
And now he's poppin' the piano just to raise the price
E
Of a ticket to the land of the free
Am F C
Well, he says his home's in 'Frisco where they send the rice
E7 Am
But it's really in Tennessee
Am E
That's what he says
Am
I need someone to love me
F C E7 Am
Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
F C E7
And bury my body there
Am F C E
I need someone to lend me a fifty-dollar bill and then
E7 Am
I'll leave Hong Kong far behind me
F C E7
For happiness once again
Am
Won't somebody believe
C E7
I've a yen to see that Bay again
Am
Everytime I try to leave
C E7
Sweet opium won't let me fly away
Am
I need someone to love me
F C E7 Am
Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
F C E7 Am
And bury my body there
