china grove

Written by Tom Johnston

	  		E2 E2 D2 C#2 A2 E2 (x3) 
    E2 E2 D2 C#2 A2 
                         E2                          E2 
        When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town 
        D2                  C#2       A2    E2 
        Down around San An-tone 
        And the folks are risin' for another day 
        Round about their homes 
 
                          C#2                                B            E2 B 
                   The people of the town are strange 
                                        A               (A#)(B)    C 
                   And they're proud of where they came 
 
                                                   E2                 D2     C#2       A2 E2 
                              Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, oh~oh 
                              D2 C#2      A2 E2       D2 C#2 A2 E2 
                              Oh~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 flyin' and they ain't lyin' 
        When the sun goes fallin' down 
 
                   They say that the father's insane 
                   And dear Miss Perkin's a game 
 
                              We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh~oh 
                              Oh~oh, China Grove 
 
                                  G#m B2  C#2 
                                           But every day there's a new thing comin' 
                                                  F#2                          C#2 
                                           The ways of an oriental view 
                                                  C#2 
                                           The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords 
                                           F#2 
                                           You can even hear the music at night 
 
                                           And though it's a part of the lone star state 
                                           People don't seem to care 
                                           A2 
                                           They just keep on lookin' to the East 
                                                                                     C2 D2 E2 (x2) 
                                                                                        E2 E2 D2 C#2 A2 E2 (x8) 
                                                                                            C#2 B E2 B A (A#)(B) C 
 
                        We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh~oh 
                        D2 C#2      A2 E2 
                        Oh~oh, China Grove...
