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...
