***Sayonara - by Shane MacGowan
from the album "Hell's Ditch"

Sayonara - as perfomed by The Pogues

[Am, C] [Am, C] [Am, C] [Am, C]

                      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

[Am, C] [Am, C] [Am, C] [Am, C]

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

[Am, C] [Am, C] [Am, C] [Am, C] (fade out)
