[Verse 1]
[D]I'm
gonna take a [C5]holiday,
[G]Be som[D]ewhere far away,
I won't be back for [A]awhile
For a long long [D]time,[G5]

And where the nights are [A]long
And the girls are pretty
[D]

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' to [G]rock till I drop,
Around [G5]the clock,
And never ever gonna [D]stop
Gonna send [G]you a post[Gm]card [G5]from [G]Hanoi,

[Verse 3]
[G]The[D] Chinese girls make me happy,
[G]Its [D]enough if I tell 'em
I'm not from the [A]U.S.A.,
And they believe every [D]word I
[G5]say[Cm][G5][D]
Hanoi rocks every morning,
[G]At nig[D]ht I'll fall asleep
To the smell of ro[A]mance,
As I see my [D]geisha girl dance
