I [E] could talk all [A]
night, my mind was sleeping [D]
while [C#] I'm looking around to [F#]
write.
[C#] How could [B] reason, have [F#]
[D#] you got [E] yourself a knock?
[A]
All of us all [D] miss you [E] to [A] stay, all of us all we [D] are on [E] our [A] way.
And I [F#m] would rather be [D] anywhere else [E] but here [A]
today.
[D]
[E] [A]
There was a check on [D] Charlie, it [E] didn't crack the smile.
[A]
But it's no laughing [D] matter, when [C#] you've been on the murder [F#m]
mile.
[C#] Only takes [B] one itch to trigger, [F#]
[C#] one more with a one less [B] white [A] nigger.
All of us all [D] miss you [E] to [A] stay, all of us all we [D] are on [E] our [A] way.
And I [F#m] would rather [A] be [D] anywhere [A] else [E] but here [A]

Hong Kong [F#] is up to grabs, [E]
London [D#] is full of [C#] abs.
We could be [F#] in Palestine, [E]
overrun [F#] by the Chinese wine.
[E] With the boys from the [F#] museum, the gems and the time.
[B] But there's no danger, [E] it's [F#] a professional [B] career.
Though it could be a [E] rage, we're just the waiting [D#]
list of [G#m] Churchill's here.
[D#] If you're [C#] out of luck or [G#m] out of work, [D#] he could send you to [B] Paris first.
[E] All [F#] [B] of us all [E] miss you to [B] stay, all of us all we [E] are on [F#] our [B] way.
And I [G#m] would rather [B] be [E] anywhere else but [F#]

Oh, oh, [E] oh, oh.
