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

Part 2
             B                         E
And now he's popping the piano just to raise the price
     C#m                       Amaj7  G#7
Of a ticket to the land of the free
         E
Well, he says his home's in Frisco where they send the rice
         B7               E   G#7             C#m
But it's really in Tennessee,   that's why he said:

G# C#m
I  need someone to love me
            G#7    C#m  C#m/B Amaj7   G#7     C#m  E6
I need somebody to carry  me  home to San Francisco
    A       B    E    G#7
And bury my body there

Part 3
  C#m                   C#m6  C#m
I need someone to lend me   a fifty dollar bill and then
C#m/B        A7      G#7   C#m  E6    A         B       E  A E
  I'll leave Hong Kong behind me  for happiness once again

Part 4
A                    A#dim7
 Won't somebody believe
       E                 E7
I've a yen to see that bay again
A                   A#dim7
 Every time I try to leave
      E                       G#7
Sweet opium won't let me fly away


  C#m
I need someone to love me
           G#7     C#m C#m/B  A7      G#7     E
I need somebody to carry me   home to San Francisco
    A       B    E
And bury my body there
