On A Slow Boat To China
Kay Kyser
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Verse
[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.
[Bm7] [Cdim] [A] [G7] [F#7]
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.
[A] [C#m7-5] [F#7]
Out on the briny
[A7] [Bm7] [Cdim]
With the moon big and shinny,
[A] [C#7] [D] [F#7]
Melting your heart of stone.
[Bm7-5] [E7] [C#m7-5]
I'd love to get you
[F#7] [A] [G7] [F#7]
On a slow boat to China,
[First Ending]
[D9] [Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7] [A] [F7] [E7]
All to myself a-lone.
[Second Ending]
[D9] [Fdim] [Bm7-5]
All to myself,
[E7] [A] [G7] [F#] [F#7]
With no-bo-dy else,
[D9] [Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7] [D9] [Bbm7] [A] [A6]
All to myself a-lone.
