On A Slow Boat To China - Luke Thompson

CAPO III 

       F              C
I was young when I set out 
       G       C
I can hardly remember
        F                 C
Oh the tales that I could tell you
    F            G
If I only could remember
       F           C
And the fog it is drumming
         G             Am
And the new world is coming
        F               C
Oh this song I will be humming
          F             C
When the words won't come out

      C
On a slow boat to China
       F          C
I will be, I will be
        G
In the sea, when we get there
        C
We will see what will be
      C
On a slow boat to China
       F          C
I will be, I will be
         G               F
We will see when we get there
         C
What will be

        F          C
Now I'm old I am weathered
  G                  C
my beard is long and white
            F          C
I have seen many crawling winters
   F           G
on this sleepy ark
         F          C
still we go for our fathers
       G           Am
and we go for the lost
        F        C
still we go ever on
  G       F      C
into the common dark

      C
On a slow boat to China
       F          C
I will be, I will be
        G
In the sea, when we get there
        C
We will see what will be
      C
On a slow boat to China
       F          C
I will be, I will be
         G               F
We will see when we get there
         C
What will be

F   Am     C       F   Am     G  X2
 
      F                       C
On a slow boat to China I will be
       G          C
I will be, I will be
      F                       C
On a slow boat to China I will be
        G             C
We will see, We will see
      F                        C
On a slow boat to China I will be
       G         Am
I will be, I will be
      F                        C
On a slow boat to China I will be
         G             C
We will see, what will be

      C
On a slow boat to China 
       F          C
I will be, I will be 
         G                F 
We will see when we get there 
          C
What will be
