(We go steppin'), we go steppin'.
G                      Em
Way out on China Town.
G                Em             G
All to buy some Hong Kong silver,
         Em             G     Em
And the wadin' rushing river.

 Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay.

 I can hear them echoing,
Em                                   G
 I can hear, I can hear them echoing.
Em                       G
 I can hear them echoing,
Em                                   G
 I can hear, I can hear them echoing.
Em                                              G
 Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay.

I can see the boats in the harbor
(way across the harbor)
Lights shining out (lights shining out)
And a cool, cool night
And a cool, cool night across the harbor
I can hear the fireworks
I can hear the people, people shouting out
I can hear the people shouting out
(up and down the line)
And it's almost Independence Day

C                             G
And it's almost Independence day.
C                                          G
I can see the lights way out in the harbour.
         C                           G
And the cool, and the cool, and the cool night.
C                                   G
And the cool, and the cool and the cool night breeze
C                          G
And I feel the cool night breeze,
C                  G
And I feel, feel, feel the cool night breeze.
C                    G
And the boats go by.
C                G
And it's almost,
C                                              G
And it's almost, and it's almost Independence day.
C                                              G
And it's almost, and it's almost Independence day.
C                         G
Way up and down the line,
C                         G
Way up and down the line.
C                         G
Way up and down the line,
C                         G
