On A Slow Boat To China

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.
