[Am]This is the story of a very unfortunate [F]coloured [C]man
Who got [E]arrested down in [E7]old Hong [Am]Kong
[Am]He got twenty years' privilege taken [F]away from [C]him
When he [E]kicked old [E7]Buddha's [Am]gong
And now he's [G]poppin' the piano just to [C]raise the price
Of a ticket to the land of the [E]free
Well, he [Am]says his home's in '[F]Frisco where they [C]send the rice
But it's [E7]really in Tenne[Am]ssee
[Am]That's what he [E]says
I [Am]need someone to love me
[F]Need some[C]body to [E7]carry me home to San Fran[Am]cisco
And [F]bury my body [C]there [E7]
I [Am]need someone to lend me a [F]fifty-dollar [C]bill and [E]then
I'll leave [E7]Hong Kong far be[Am]hind me
For [F]happiness once [C]again [E7]
[Am]Won't somebody believe
I've a [C]yen to see that [E7]Bay again
[Am]Everytime I try to leave
Sweet [C]opium won't let me fly[E7] away
I [Am]need someone to love me
[F]Need some[C]body to [E7]carry me home to San Fran[Am]cisco
And [F]bury my body [C]there [E7] [Am]
