Shanghaied

E                                 A                E
I've played around in China town passing the time away
      A                            E
When Black Jack Red hit me in the head
     A                   E
And when I woke up next day
   A              E
I was many miles away

E                        A       E
I was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
                  A                 E
I was shanghaied eating beans and taters
                         A       E
I was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
       A                 E
And I wanna get back to shore

They throwed me off in old Hong Kong and put me on my own
        Bb          F
Not a penny in my pockets
      Bb                 F
Ten thousand miles from home
     Bb                            F
And that's a mighty long way from home
