china girl
john mellencamp

D Bm
china girl , i met you on the sea sand .
G
you touched me with your cool hand .
D
your perfume’s in the wind .

D Bm
china girl , your Daddy tells you white lies
G
to keep you from my blue eyes .
D
to know me is no sin .

chorus :

Bm D
and i won’t break you , china girl ,
G D
if you take me into your world .
Bm G
it’s been my good fortune to find you ,
D
china girl .

stolen flowers are sweetest in the mornin’ .
the eastern sun is dawnin’ .
your silk’s against my skin .

china girl , take me to your jasmine place .
cool me with your subtle grace .
to know me is no sin .

chorus
and i won’t break you , china girl ,
if you take me into your world .
it’s been my good fortune to find you ,
china girl .
