GI could escape this feeling Amwith my China Girl
GI feel a wreck without my Amlittle China Girl
EmI feel her heart beating Gloud as thunder
AmSaw they stars crashing B7
GI’m a mess without my Amlittle China Girl
GWake up in the mornings where’s my Amlittle China Girl
EmI hear her heart beating Gloud as thunder
AmSaw they stars crashing B7down
GI feel a-tragic like I’m FMarlon Brando
EmWhen I look at my China DGirl
GI could pretend nothing Freally meant too much
EmWhen I look at my China DGirl
Em D C B
EmI stumble into town Djust like a sacred cow
CVisions of swastikas in my head
BPlans for everyone
EmIt’s in the white of my Deyes C B7
EmMy little China Girl
DYou shouldn’t mess with me
CI’ll ruin everything you Bare (you know)
EmI’ll give you television
DI’ll give you eyes of blue
CI’ll give you a man who wants to Brule the world
GAnd when I get excited
FMy little China Girl says
EmOh baby, just you shut your Dmouth
She says Emsh-sh-shhh D
She says Csh-sh-shhh B
