[C#m] Set me up straight in my [E] chair, comb my hair,
[C#m] Cause tonight I'll see an [E] old friend, [C#m] And I wonder if she [E] has been thinking of me.
[B] Now and then [C#m] she's a candle that burns [E] for the sailors returning,
She's [C#m] a fortress that's safe from [E] the storm, [C#m] She is brave and she's free,
And [E] she's waiting to keep [B] me warm.
[D] And save all your small talk [A] for some other lady,
[G] Just give her your love and [F#m] your pride,
[A] [D] And lay down [A] beside her and give her what's left of [E] your hide.
[C#m] Set me up straight in [E] my chair, comb my hair,
[C#m] Cause tonight [C#] I'll see an [E] old friend.
[C#m] She was with me across the sea, [E] South of the Bay of [B] Japan.
