[B] [G] [Abm] [A] [Bb]
[Cm]
Deep in the heart of the midnight world, looking in the red light
A story was told of a beautiful girl, we know the red light
[G] She was [Cm] born on the sand park, never knew the [Eb] ground
But it looks so beautiful, [G]
and I [C] knew she'd be an [G] ocean of drama [C] in Hong [Bb] Kong
[G] [Cm]
[Gm] Drama in [C] Hong Kong
People [Bb] may live by the [C] rules of the town, looking [Gm] in the red light
[C]
She [Bb] made her own life's [Dm] strength [Cm] of crime, looking [Bb] [F] in the red [Cm] light
[G] She [E] would aim [C] her gun to chase the [Gm] pimps [Eb] away, became the [G] man
The price [C] was always high for [G] any drama in [C] Hong [Gm] Kong
[Cm]
[G] Drama [Gm] in [C] Hong Kong
[Eb] So [G] she ran through the streets and the [D] alleyway, down [C] through the docks
What did she call her cops?
I don't know, but [G] from those kind of guys no one ever [F] gets away
[Cm]
[G] [C]
Keeping [Bb] it silent [Cm] is what they prefer,
[Gm] [C]
nobody [Bb] knows [A] what happens [C] in her
[Bb] But [C]
[G] a [Em] [C] newspaper man said that you [Gm] don't go [Eb] far when you go against the underworld
[D] Or they'll bring [C] you down
[A]
[G] Drama in [C] Hong [Bb] Kong
[G] [C]
[Gm] Drama in [C] Hong Kong
What [G] did she do?
Drama in [C] Hong Kong
[G] [N]
