^C My engine's all ^F burned out ^C My crew has all ^F bailed out I don't know ^Am where I am But it's somewhere near Ja^Gpan

And she said,

^C Rescue me, I'm somewhere in the ^Am China Sea I think I'm sinkin' ^F fast This call is probably my ^G last ^C I'm throwing out a life line ^Am

And I'm doing it

for old time's ^F sake Though I know you're gonna break my ^G heart one more time

And ^D now she's trippin' on some ^G Chinese junk ^D Her world is spinning and her ^G hope has sunk So I ^Bm close my eyes And I'm somewhere near ^A Japan ^D The spinning stopped and the ^G world stood still ^D I broke her fall and I al^Bmways will Strung out in ^G no man's land Somewhere near Jap^Aan
