   C
I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
F          G        C
To get out of this town
            C
'cause the tarmac was melting and
the people seemed to sway
F            G      C
Stuck in the underground

Chorus:
       C
To the isle of the black kites
and the wishing tree
F        G       C
I wanna be with you
         C
On the slow boat to Lantau through misty seas
F        G       C
I wanna be with you

I crawled out the harbour with recession behind
And now I'm feeling the love of you
So you better get a charge 'til I see you again
You'll know just what to do

Chorus:
If you're caught up in the gales
on the junk boat seas
I wanna be with you
With the pilgrims, the mountain,
the High Trappist
I wanna be with you

If you're the landlord, the social on BST
I wanna be with you
On an island with red kites and verdant seas
I will be there with you, oh
