China Girl

Tom: G

G                                Am
I could escape this feeling with my China girl
G                         Am
I feel a wreck without my little China girl
Em                       G
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Am                    Bm
Saw them stars crashing


[Verse 2]
G                      Am
I'm a mess without my little China girl
G                           Am
Wake up mornings, where's my little China girl?
Em                          G
I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
Am                       Bm
Saw them stars crashing down


[Chorus 1]
G                      F
I feel tragic like I'm with Marlon Brando
Em                         D
When I look at my China girl
G                          F
I could pretend that nothing ever really meant too much
Em                 D
When I look at my China girl


[Interlude]
Em  D  C  Bm 


[Verse 3]
Em                 D
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
C
Visions of swastikas in my head
Bm
Plans for everyone
Em                      D    C    Bm
It's in the white of my eyes


[Verse 4]
Em                           D
You shouldn't mess with me my little China girl
C                         Bm
I'll ruin everything you are
Em                        D
I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue
C                            Bm
I'll give you men who want to rule the world


[Verse 5]
G
And when I get excited
F
My little china girl says
Em                            D
Oh baby you just shut your mouth
      Em     D C Bm
She says, shh
