The Doobie Brothers - China Grove lyrics



China Grove
The Doobie Brothers
(Tom Johnston)

{Intro: 1 phrase guitar, 1 phrase guitar with keys, 2 phrase all --STOP}

E
When the sun comes up on the sleepy little town
D A E
Down around San Antone
E
and the folks are risin' for another day,
D A E
Round about their homes,
C#m B Bsus4 B
The people of the town are strange,
A Bb7 B7 C7
And they're proud of where they came,
E D A
Well you're talking 'bout China Grove
(Talking 'bout your China Grove )
E D A
Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! ) (( China Grove ))

Well the preacher and the teacher
Lord they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flying and they ain't lyin'
When the sun goes falling down

They say that the father's insane
and dear Miss Perkin's a game

We're talking 'bout your China Grove
( Talking 'bout your China Grove )
Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! ) (( China Grove )) D A E

{ Oohs start } { B falsetto oohs }
G#m B C#m7
But every day there's a new thing coming
F#m7 C#m7
The ways of an Oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# G#m B
You can even hear the music at night
C#m7
and though it's a part of the Lone Star State
F#m7 C#m7
People don't seem to care
A Asus4 A CDE--, CDE--,
They just keep on looking to the east

We're talking 'bout your China Grove
( Talking 'bout your China Grove )
Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! ) (( China Grove )) { STOP } From: Freyer <CRE8IVEGUY@EARTHLINK.NET
