CAPO 3
Am F C
This is the story of a very unfortunate coloured man E E7 Am
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
Am F C
He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him E E7 Am
When he kicked old Buddha's gong G C
And now he's poppin' the piano just to raise the price E
Of a ticket to the land of the free Am F C
Well, he says his home's in 'Frisco where they send the rice E7 Am
But it's really in Tennessee
Am E
That's what he says
Am
I need someone to love me
F C E7 Am
Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco F C E7
And bury my body there
Am F C E
I need someone to lend me a fifty-dollar bill and then E7 Am
I'll leave Hong Kong far behind me F C E7
For happiness once again
Am
Won't somebody believe C E7
I've a yen to see that Bay again
Am
Everytime I try to leave C E7
Sweet opium won't let me fly away
Am
I need someone to love me
F C E7 Am
Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco F C E7 Am
And bury my body there

You are right, there's no truth about likes and dislikes. And now that I heard it again it sounds to me much better. Sometimes writting requires more explanation 'cause there's no chance for entonation. First thing, I congratulate you for doing this song that I love. I do it myself. Sorry for my past comment.

This was sung also by Hogy Carmicheal in the movie "Have and Have Not". I believe he wrote the song. It's an interesting mix of cultures and sensibilities and somewhat ahead of its time. ENTIRELY creative.
