Lyrics

[Intro]
G           Am             G
 Oh, oh, oh,  little China girl
           Am
Oh, oh, oh,  little China

[Verse 1]
G
 I could escape this feeling,
Am
  with my China girl
G
 I feel a wreck without my,
Am
  little China girl
Em
  I hear her heart beating,
G
 loud as thunder
Am
  Saw they stars crashing
B G                  Am
   I'm a mess without  my,
little China girl
G
 Wake up in a mornings where's my,
Am
  little China girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
  I hear her heart's beating,
G
 loud as thunder
Am                        B
  Saw they stars crashing down

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

[Bridge]
Em D C B
Em                   D
  I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
C
Visions of swastikas in my head
B
Plans for e veryone
Em                         D   C B
  It's in the whites of my eyes

[Verse 2]
Em
  My little China girl
D
 You shouldn't mess with me
C                            B
 I'll ruin everything you are
         Em
You know,  I'll give you television
D
 I'll give you eyes of blue
C                                B
 I'll give you men's who want to rule the world

[Chorus]
G
 And when I get excited
F
 My little China girl says
Em                            D
  Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
         Em
She says,  shhh

[Bridge]
D         C
 She says, shhh
B

[Solo]

[Outro]

           Am
Oh, oh, oh,  little China
