[Verse 1]
   D                G   D
If Harry go back to Guy-ana
            E           A      D
Some of the ladies will surely cry
   D                G   D
If Harry go back to Guy-ana
                         A     D
Some of the ladies will surely cry.

[Chorus]
               G
They say don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
       Em
Don't listen to them
           G           A
Who may be telling you to
          G
Hey don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
    G               A
Cos what would them old ones
G              A
What will them old folks
Em             A        D
What will them old ones do?

[Verse 2]
D                       G          D
Whose strong arms would carry them down
                    E              A        D
To the bathroom and slip off their dressing gown?
D                      G            D
Whose warm voice would soothe their fears?
                                 A      D
A little tea and sympathy in the fading years.

[Chorus]
               G
They say don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
       Em
Don't listen to them
           G           A
Who may be telling you to
          G
Hey don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
    G               A
Cos what would them old ones
G              A
What will them old folks
Em             A        D
What will them old ones do?

[Verse 3]
   D                G   D
If Harry go back to Guy-ana
             E             A          D
There'll be silence in the old men’s room
    D               G   D
If Harry go back to Guy-ana
                           A         D
There'll be silence in the old men’s room.

[Chorus]
               G
They say don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
Em
Tuna fish boats
       G           A
May be calling you home
          G
Hey don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
    G               A
Cos what would them old ones
G              A
What will them old folks
Em             A        D
What will them old ones do?

[Verse 4]
D                     G       D
Who is it turning the old men on?
             E
He give them something to smoke
           A      D
With their old Holborn
D                      G        D
Who is it telling them romantic lies?
                   E         A         D
Put a little spark back into tired old eyes.

 [Chorus]
               G
They say don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
       Em
Don't listen to them
           G           A
Who may be telling you to
          G
Hey don't go
            D
Don't go Guyana
    G               A
Cos what would them old ones
G              A
What will them old folks
Em             A        D
What will them old ones do?
