Capo 5

Intro

Verse 1

G                              C                                   D

Always had this dream that I'd go around the world

        G                 C          D

In a little boat I had made

      G                          C                                        D

I'd build it out of all the things I found on my way

         G                    C             D

And other stuff already saved

 

Verse 2

  G                                   C                                          D

I got some wooden boards that I'd tied together

          G                 C                                 D

With old rope, washed up in the bay

G                                C                                                 D

And some empty bottles would help keep us afloat

             G                                                 C                             D

Could do with some more, but I think we'll be okay

 

Chorus

G        C                             D

If we go down to the water

G      C                     D

And head out to sea

G                C                         D

Take this Slow Boat to China

                           G C D

Just you and me

 

Verse 3

         G                                     C                      D          

The mast I made from a tree trunk I found in a forest

                      G                    C           D

It was just lying there on the ground

             G                                                               C                               D       

Some sheets stitched together made a sail, that would take us

               G                                   C                 D

In whatever direction the wind was bound

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

C                                    Em                            G               

I need someone to steer when I'm asleep

                       C

Would you come with me?                   

C                                     Em                             

I need someone to share in this journey

G                                C                                 D

If you come we'll be, we'll all be at sea

Just you and me, on a Slow Boat to China

                  G C D     G

You and me
