                     bum, bum, bum, bum...oouuuuuuu (Lots of this through out)

I'm a travelin' man, made a lot of stops, all over the world

Bm                    G                   D          A     D
And in every port, I own the heart of at least one lovely girl.

          D                Bm              D            A7
I have a pretty senorita, waiting for me, down in old Mexico.

If you 're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo.

Oh my sweet frauline, down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn.

        G                 F#m            E             A7
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return.

        D               Bm            D               A7
Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea, I remember the night

         Bm                     G            D          A      D
when we walked in the sands of Wai Ki Ki and I held her oh so tight.


Instrumental:

       G                     F#m           G                       D
Oh my sweet fraline, down in Berlin town, makes my heart start to yearn.

        G                 F#m             E            A7
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return.
