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


         D	     Bm	                   D	        A7
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.

            Bm             G               D          A   D
If you 're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo.

       G                      F#m          G                       D
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.


D              Bm              D          Bm
Whoa.., I'm a travelin' man.  Yes, I'm a travelin' man.
