Am                        
This is the story of a very 
              F        C
unfortunate coloured man
        E                E7       
Who got arrested down in old Hong 
Am
Kong
Am                                
He got twenty years' privilege 
   F         C
taken away from him
        E          E7       Am
When he kicked old Buddha's gong

             G                     
And now he's poppin' the piano just
    C
 to raise the price
                               E
Of a ticket to the land of the free
         Am                  F    
Well, he says his home's in 
             C
'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             
Need somebody to carry me home 
          Am
to San Francisco
    F            C       E7
And bury my body there
  Am                       
I need someone to lend me a 
 F            C        E
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             
Need somebody to carry me home 
          Am
to San Francisco
    F            C       E7     Am
And bury my body there
