        Em
We were Shanghaied.  Yes, me and him too

               CM7
And now we are pulling our wood with the swarthiest crew.

              D
We’ve got the scurvy, the scabies, got that mad yellow fever

  C
I moored in her dock and I swore I’d never leave her
[Verse] [Joel]
       Em
Well I wonder which is more appealing

    CM7
The sea with all her temper, or the city

    D
The city with her hordes of outstretched hands

        C
Well to both I raise my glass towards the ceiling
[Chorus]
G
This is how we get by in Shanghai&

C7
this is the way we swings to Beijing

  F
I dedicate this one to the shisty street hawkers, and

D
This one is for the Philipino Rockers

G
This is how we do it in the ports o' call

     C7
From Qingdao all the way to HongKong

F
This one dedicated to the posers

D
With their silk shirts and sob stories
[Verse] [Ainslie]
 Em
Some of the swabs had a girl in every port

     CM7
But me, I know there’s a port in every girl

    D
You might say I’m just a dirty sea dog

       C
But I been shanghaied, welcome to my world yeah
[Verse] [Joel]
    Em
The filth and charm keep me coming back

       CM7
It’s a losing battle but I try right myself

         D
When the debauchery of the city is on the attack

      C
I’m a fading out beacon of virtue, oh
[Chorus]
G
This is how we do it here in Kyoto

  C7
And this is the way we swings to Beijing

F
I dedicate this to the missionary crew

      D
And the Sandwich dancers on the Mao Ming Lu

G
This is how we do it in the ports o' call

     C7
From Qingdao all the way to HongKong

    F
And this one is for our regal buddy Chivas

   D
And all the other things we do to aggrieve us
KODA [Verse] [Ainslie]
                                             Em
Sometimes I feel like I was born to make the same mistake a hundred times

  CM7
And never learn my lesson

        D
I  blame it on the whisky, these hedonistic oriental climes

C
But the truth is just too distressing yeah
[Verse] [Joel]
    Em
The hips shook, my pulse quickened

  CM7
I tried to resist, as she pulled up tight

  D
Tomorrow I’d be sorry, but tonight I was in delight

     C
if you could’ve seen the way she beckoned
[Chorus]
G
This is how we do it here in Kyoto

C7
And this is the way we swings to Beijing

  F
The Baltic Bards you know we ain’t 2 specific

D
wetting our oars all across the Pacific
[Outro]
G
This is how we do it in the ports o' call

C7
From Qingdao all the way to HongKong

F
You know will be rocking on and on

D
In the land of the rising sun
