[Bm] [F#] [G] [F#]
[Bm] With sail [F#] tonight through [B] Singapore, where all is mad and Paris air, I've fallen for [F#] a tiny boy.
[G] To [B] come to the land of none, drank with thoughtless China men, [F] walked [B] the shores of Paris, I danced [F#] along the coloured river,
[B] [F] tangled from a rope in sand, [F#m] he must [D#] say goodbye to [B] me.
With sail tonight through Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore, cross the heart and hope to die.
When you hear them children cry, the marrow bone and cleaver juice, while making feet for children's shoes,
through the alley, [Em] back from hell, [F#] when you hear that steeple bell, you must say goodbye to me.
[E] Wipe him down with [B] gasoline, [D#] till his arms [A#] are hard and [B] mean, from now on, boy, there's iron boats [D] your whole, so heave [F#] away, boys.
With [B] sail tonight [F#] through Singapore, [Em] take your [B] blankets from the floor, wash your mouth out by the [G] door, the whole [A#] town's made of iron ore.
[E]
Every weakness turns to steam, [G#] they all [A#] become Italian [F] dreams, fill your pockets [F#] up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth.
[F] Away, boys, [B] away, boys, heave away.
The captain is a one-armed dwarf, [E] he's throwing dice [B] along the wharf, in the land of the blind, the [D] one-eyed man is king.
So deep [F#] this rain.
[B] With sail tonight through [G] Singapore, we're all as mad as [Bm] Hatter's Hill, I've fallen for [A#m] a tiny [Bm] moor.
Look off to [C#] the land of [B] none, drank with all the china men, walked the sewers of Paris, [C] [D] I drank [F] along on coloured [G] whips, I [F#] dangled from [F] a rope [D#] of sand, [F#] you must say goodbye to [G#] me.
