A C#m7-5 F#7
I'd love to get you
A7 Bm7 Cdim
On a slow boat to China,
A C#7 D F#7
All to myself alone.

Get you to keep you in my arms evermore,
B7 F#m7 B7
Leave all your lovers
Bm7 Bm7-5 E7/6
Weeping on the faraway shore.

Out on the briny

With the moon big and shinny,
A C#7 D F#7
Melting your heart of stone.

I'd love to get you

On a slow boat to China,

With no-bo-dy else,
D9 Fdim Bm7-5 E7 D9 Bbm7 A A6
All to myself a-lone.
