1.     I could escape this feeling          with my China girl,

G                                         - Am

    I feel a wreck without my         little China girl.

G                                                                - Am                                  - B7

    I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder,    saw the stars crashing.

2.     I’m a mess without          my little China girl,

    visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone.

Em                                  D        - C - B7

    It’s in the white of my eyes.

 

    Em                            - D

5.     My little China girl,        you shouldn’t mess with me,

C                                      B7

    I’ll ruin everything you are, you know.

Em                                  - D 

    I’ll give you television,       I’ll give you eyes of blue,

C                                                      B7

    I’ll give you a man who wants to rule the world.
