George Harrison - Hong Kong Blues: chords

         C#m      C#m7               C#m6   Amaj7/C#
It's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man
          C#m         G#7         C#m
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
       C#m7                           C#m6  Amaj7/C#
He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him
        G#7                 C#m
When he kicked old Buddha's gong

              B                         E
And now he's poppin' 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
But it's really in Tennessee

              C#m  G#
That's why he says
  C#m
I need someone to love me
           G#7  C#m C#m7  Amaj7   G#7     C#m  E6
Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
     A       B     E  G#7
And bury my body there
  C#m
I need someone to lend me a fifty-dollar
bill and then
C#m7/B      A7        G#7    C#m
I'll leave Hong Kong far behind me
E6   A        B      E   A E
For happiness once again

A                     A#dim7
Won't somebody believe
        E              E7
I've a yen to see that Bay again
A              A#dim7
Everytime I try to leave
      E           E7         G#7
Sweet opium won't let me fly away
  C#m
I need someone to love me
           G#7  C#m C#m7  Amaj7   G#7     C#m  E6
Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
     A       B     E    G#7
And bury my body there

           C#m     C#m7               C#m6  Amaj7/C#
That's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man
          C#m         G#7         C#m
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
       C#m7                           C#m6  Amaj7/C#
He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him
        G#7                  C#m
When he kicked old Buddha's gong
