China Grove lyrics

China Grove
The Doobie Brothers
(Tom Johnston)

{Intro: 1 phrase
guitar, 1 phrase guitar with keys, 2 phrase all --STOP}

E
When the
sun comes up on the sleepy little town
D A E
Down around San
Antone
E
and the folks are risin’ for another day,
D A E
Round
about their homes,
C#m B Bsus4 B
The people of the town are strange,
A
Bb7 B7 C7
And they’re proud of where they came,
E D A
Well you're
talking 'bout China Grove
(Talking 'bout your China Grove )
E D A
Wo
ho ho! ( Wo 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 flying and they ain't lyin’
When the sun goes falling
down

They say that the father's insane
and dear Miss Perkin’s a
game

We're talking 'bout your China Grove
( Talking 'bout your China
Grove )
Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! ) (( China Grove )) D A E

{ Oohs start } {
B falsetto oohs }
G#m B C#m7
But every day there's a new thing
coming
F#m7 C#m7
The ways of an Oriental view
The sheriff and his
buddies with their samurai swords
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# G#m B
You can
even hear the music at night
C#m7
and though it's a part of the Lone Star
State
F#m7 C#m7
People don't seem to care
A Asus4 A CDE--,
CDE--,
They just keep on looking to the east


We're talking 'bout
your China Grove
( Talking 'bout your China Grove )
Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! )
(( China Grove )) { STOP }
