Capo 3

       F              C 
I was young when I set out  
       G       C 
I can hardly remember 
        F                 C 
Oh the tales that I could tell you 
    F            G 
If I only could remember 
       F           C 
And the fog it is drumming 
         G             Am 
And the new world is coming 
        F               C 
Oh this song I will be humming 
          F             C 
When the words won't come out 

      C 
On a slow boat to China 
       F          C 
I will be, I will be 
        G 
In the sea, when we get there 
        C 
We will see what will be 
      C 
On a slow boat to China 
       F          C 
I will be, I will be 
         G               F 
We will see when we get there 
         C 
What will be 

        F          C 
Now I'm old I am weathered 
  G                  C 
my beard is long and white 
            F          C 
I have seen many crawling winters 
   F           G 
on this sleepy ark 
         F          C 
still we go for our fathers 
       G           Am 
and we go for the lost 
        F        C 
still we go ever on 
  G       F      C 
into the common dark 

      C 
On a slow boat to China 
       F          C 
I will be, I will be 
        G 
In the sea, when we get there 
        C 
We will see what will be 
      C 
On a slow boat to China 
       F          C 
I will be, I will be 
         G               F 
We will see when we get there 
         C 
What will be 

F   Am     C       F   Am     G  X2 
  
      F                       C 
On a slow boat to China I will be 
       G          C 
I will be, I will be 
      F                       C 
On a slow boat to China I will be 
        G             C 
We will see, We will see 
      F                        C 
On a slow boat to China I will be 
       G         Am 
I will be, I will be 
      F                        C 
On a slow boat to China I will be 
         G             C 
We will see, what will be 

      C 
On a slow boat to China  
       F          C 
I will be, I will be  
         G                F  
We will see when we get there  
          C 
What will be
