Slow Boat To China(Chords)

	        A           F#7      
I'd love to get you  
     Bmin7         Cdim  
On a slow boat to China, 
A        C#7     D       F#7      Bmin7  
All to myself alone,  
            Cdim  
Get you and keep you  
      A    G7   F#7  
In my arms ever more,  
B7  
Leave all your lovers  
Bmin7                 E7  
Weeping on a faraway shore.  

A          F#7  
Out on the briny  
         Bmin7        Cdim  
With the moon big and shiny  
A            C#7      D      F#7    Bmin7  
Melting your heart of stone.  
                  Cdim  
Honey, I'd love to get you  
     A    G7      F#7  
On a slow boat to China  
B7       E7    A  
All by myself alone.

A           F#7  
I'd love to get you  
     Bmin7        Cdim  
On a slow boat to China  
A        C#7   D     F#7    Bmin7  
All to myself alone,  
               Cdim  
A twist in the rudder  
      A   G7     F#7  
And a rip in the sails,  
B7  
Drifting and dreaming?  
      Bmin7                      E7  
Honey, throw the compass over the rail!  
A          F#7  
Out on the ocean,  
         Bmin7       Cdim  
Far from all the commotion,  
A            C#7      D      F#7      Bmin7  
Melting your heart of stone.  
                  Cdim  
Honey, I'd love to get you  
     A    G7      F#7  
On a slow boat to China  
B7       E7    A  
All to myself alone.
