CHINA 1
Chorus:
D                                                                            Em
There’s a hazy smog above the river - where the junks go to and fro
D        Em
There’s a tall glass tower with the cool air - where the money screens glow
       Bm                                         A                           Em                           G
And down in the street where the bikes and the cabs jostle in the morning sun
         D                                Bm7                             Em             A       D
In the heat of the street the shrimps are frying in a place called China One
 
(D to Em to D)
 
V1
D                                                      G
There’s a dam upon a river with a red flag unfurled
D        G
Down the straits containers sail the blue rim of the world
         Bm                   A                 Em                     G
From Sydney to San Diego to the land of the rising sun
     D                           Bm7                        Em              A        D
All eyes look west all eyes look north to a place called China one
 
(D to Em to D)
 
V2
A child cries in a muddy ditch an endless stream of tears
An emperor builds a great wall to last ten thousand years
With a red book in the rice fields revolution has begun
And the tiger and the dragon dream together in a place called China one
 
Chorus
 
M8
Cmaj6*                 Esus
China (China)  – China ‘cross the bay
C6                       E
China (China)      Down the takeaway
C6                       Esus
China (China)  – a billion in your land
C6                       A6/A
China (China)  – China in your hand
 
V3
The dolls the chips the factories the prisoners of the gun
The people on a long march that scarcely has begun
Its a brand new century so who knows what’s to come
All eyes look west all eyes look north to a place called China one
 
Chorus
