C
OK, it's time for Sayonara
Am
So long yankee break my heart
C F
Now there's nothing left but sorrow
G C
Even the best friends they must part
C
I walked into the nearest bar
Am
I sat and looked towards the sea
C F
I wandered drunken down the beach
G C
The waves just whispered misery
C F
She had red red scarf Around her neck
C G C
Her eyes were green Her hair was black
C F
She had red red scarf Around her neck
C G C
Her eyes were green Her hair was black
C F
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
C G C
Ooh she gave me Hong Kong Flu
C F
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
C G C
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
AmC AmC AmC AmC
[, ] [, ] [, ] [, ]
I got new papers in a bordello
With some luckies and my I.D.
My heart was pounding like a hammer
Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai! I am free
She kissed me softly on the lips
She took my hand without a sound
This was our happy ever after
So motherfucker kiss the ground
She had red red scarf Around her neck
Her eyes were green Her hair was black
She had red red scarf Around her neck
Her eyes were green Her hair was black
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Ooh she gave me Hong Kong Flu
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Ooh she gave me Hong Kong Flu
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
