Lyrics
(Bb)I'd (Dm7)love to (G7)get you on a (Cm)slow boat to (C#dim7)China,
(Bb)all to (D7)myself, (Eb)alone.
(Cm)Get you and (C#dim7)keep you in my (Bb)arms (D7)evermore,
(C7)leave (Gm7)all your (C9)lovers (Cm7)weeping on the (F9)(Gb9)faraway (F9)shore.
(Bb)Out (Dm7)on the (G7)briny with a (Cm)moon big and (C#dim7)shiny,
(Bb)melting your (D7)heart of (Eb)stone, (Cm7)I'd love to (Ab7)get you (A7)on a (Bb)slow (Ab7)boat to (G7)China,
(C7)all to (Cm7)myself, (B7)(Bb)alone.
(Bb)I'd (Dm7)love to (G7)get you on a (Cm)slow boat to (C#dim7)China,
(Bb)all to (D7)myself, (Eb)alone.
(Cm)Get you and (C#dim7)keep you in my (Bb)arms (D7)evermore,
(C7)leave (Gm7)all your (C9)(lovlies) (Cm7)weeping on the (F9)(Gb9)faraway (F9)shore.
(Bb)Out (Dm7)on the (G7)briny with a (Cm)moon big and (C#dim7)shiny,
(Bb)melting your (D7)heart of (Eb)stone, (Cm7)I'd love to (Ab7)get you (A7)on a (Bb)slow (Ab7)boat to (G7)China,
(C7)all to (Cm7)myself, (B7)(Bb)alone.
(Bb)lone. There is no verse to this song,
'cause I don't want to wait a (Edim7)moment too long (Cm7)to (F7)say that (Bb)lone.
