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
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
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 }
