Intro: C# minorC#m (6x) G#7G#7 C# minorC#m

Part 1
     C# minorC#m  C#m7C#m7         C# minor 6C#m6  A/C#A/C#
It's the story of a very unfortunate colored man
     C# minorC#m      G#7G#7    C# minorC#m
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong.
    C# minorC#m  C#m7C#m7         C# minor 6C#m6   A/C#A/C#
He got twenty years privilege taken away from him
    G#7G#7         C# minorC#m
When he kicked old Buddha's gong

Part 2
       BB             E MajorE
And now he's popping the piano just to raise the price
   C# minorC#m            Amaj7Amaj7 G#7G#7
Of a ticket to the land of the free
     E MajorE
Well, he says his home's in Frisco where they send the rice
     B7B7        E MajorE  G#7G#7       C# minorC#m
But it's really in Tennessee,  that's why he said:

G#G# C# minorC#m
I need someone to love me
      G#7G#7  C# minorC#m C#m/B Amaj7Amaj7  G#7G#7   C# minorC#m E6E6
I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
  A augmentedA    BB  E MajorE  G#7G#7
And bury my body there

Part 3
 C# minorC#m          C# minor 6C#m6 C# minorC#m
I need someone to lend me  a fifty dollar bill and then
C#m/B    A7A7   G#7G#7  C# minorC#m E6E6  A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
 I'll leave Hong Kong behind me for happiness once again

Part 4
A augmentedA          A#dim7A#dim7
 Won't somebody believe
    E MajorE         E7E7
I've a yen to see that bay again
A augmentedA          A#dim7A#dim7
 Every time I try to leave
   E MajorE            G#7G#7
Sweet opium won't let me fly away


 C# minorC#m
I need someone to love me
      G#7G#7   C# minorC#m C#m/B A7A7   G#7G#7   E MajorE
I need somebody to carry me  home to San Francisco
  A augmentedA    BB  E MajorE
And bury my body there
