Intro
E D A E (repeat 2x), E D A..
Verse
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are risin' for another day
round about their homes
C#m B (E,B)
The people of the town are strange
and they're proud of where they came,
Chorus
Well you're talkin' 'bout China Grove
(background vocals: talkin' 'bout China Grove),
Whoa oh ho...
Who ho China Grove
Verse
Well the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip hits the fan, they ain't lyin'
when the sun goes fallin' down
Well they say that the father's insane,
and dear Missus Perkins a game,
Chorus
Well you're talkin' 'bout China Grove
(background vocals: talkin' 'bout China Grove),
Whoa oh ho...
Who ho China Grove
Bridge
Well every day there's a new thing comin',
The ways of an oriental view.
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords,
you can even hear the music at night.
And though it's a part of the Lone Star state
The people don't seem to care
A C,D,E CDE
They'll just keep on lookin' to the east...
instrumental break
(6 sets of E D A E like intro, then verse starting from C#m
to end)
Chorus
Well you're talkin' 'bout China Grove
(background vocals: talkin' 'bout China Grove),
Whoa oh ho...
Who ho China Grove
1 measure on E (end on beat 1)
