This song is already in the OLGA database, but I think there are some
mistakes. Accordingly to what I can hear the chords were shown to be
played with a capo at the seventh fret. I have corrected what seemed
wrong to me and the following chords are played without capo.
CHINA GIRL (David Bowie)
------------------------
I could escape this feeling
With my china girl
I feel a wreck without my
Little china girl
I hear her hearts beating
Loud as thunder
Saw their stars crashing
I'm mess without my
Little china girl
Make up mornings where's my
Little china girl
I hear her heart's beating
Loud as thunder
Saw their stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic like i'm Marlon Brando
When i look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothin really meant too much
When i look at my china girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swasticas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little china girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are (you know)
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you man who want to rule the world
And when i get excited
My little china girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says shhhh...
