Dm C F C There are ten thousand graves in Hong Kong Protestant Cemetery Dm C F C Every one of them says "born and died, and the rest might be history" Bb C Walking there I'd cry Bb C For my love was there to lie Bb F I never knew shame to be so refreshing Bb F I'd sing Georgia on my mind, she would be "i'd be regressing"
[Chorus]
Dm C - I'm alright! - F C - I'm alright! - Dm C - I'm alright! - F C - I'm alright! -

Dm C F C Your life might be a mess of lights when you're on your own Dm C F C But the lights you'll see form a line that'll be pointing all the way home Bb C I was here before Bb C My name was on the door Bb F Took a score of years to get to your seat Bb F I'll send the next in line, he'll be a clean sheet
