China (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

China, China, on the sea shore
China, China, on the dance floor
China, China, I must have seen your face before

I’ve been to Cairo and I’ve been to Khartoum
I’ve seen them places from my rented room
I’ve been to Paris and I’ve been to Marseille
But that was nothing till I got to Cathay

I’ve been to New York and I’ve been to L.A.
I’ve been to Delhi and I’ve been to Bombay
I’ve been to Venice and I’ve been to Rome
But now it’s Peking that I think of as home

China, China, on the sea shore
China, China, on the dance floor
China, China, there’s no finer place on earth

China, China, I must have seen your face before

China (Letra)

Written by bob welch.

I´m adrift on a sea of mystery
I´m sailin?round the cape unknown
But that china girl is waitin?there
So i know where i got to go

Oh china, i can hear you call

You see i really don´t have the coices
I´m a prisoner of those oriental eyes
So i pretend to chart my courses
But i´m dreamin?of those china nights

Oh china, i can hear you call

Oh china, oh china, oh china, oh yeah
Those oriental eyes are such a mystery
Yeah they are
China calls again

You see now long, long ago
I once had the power to levitate the world
With just my will
Well i thought that it was gone
How could i be so wrong
I belong to china now

Oh china, i can hear you call

Ah miss g mary won’t you c please g come home from d(7) china.
Bring a g bottle of whisky and a c tin cup g for your d(7) teeth.
Em don’t you sneak d into the g back door c wearing some d(7) disguise.
Em knock on the d front door in g view of the c temperance d(7) guild.

Ah miss mary won’t you please come home cause i miss ya.
Your old spinster sister don’t always give good advice.
Look at her she’s in love with that drunken bandy-legged sheriff.
He’ll unzip her pantsuit, but never leave his fat wife

Chorus:
Ah miss em mary won’t you b please come home from c china.
A come home from g china.
D come home from c china am6.

Repeat chorus

Now that fake old beatnik poet the volunteer fireman.
He don’t care if you come, he don’t like i do.
He’s in love with his dog and all his volunteer fireman.
And he is afraid to let the end of his versus rhyme.

Repeat chorus x2

China all the way to New York
I can feel the distance getting close
You’re right next to me
but I need an airplane
I can feel the distance as you breathe

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build a great wall around you
In your eyes I saw a future together
You just look away in the distance

China decorates our table
Funny how the cracks don’t seem to show
Pour the wine dear
You say we’ll take a holiday
But we never can agree on where to go

Sometimes I think you want to me to touch you
How can I when you build a great wall around you
In your eyes I saw a future together
You just look away in the distance

China all the way to New York
Maybe you got lost in Mexico
You’re right next to me
I think that you can hear me
Funny how the distance learns to grow

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build a great wall around you

I can feel the distance getting close

(jack hues / nick de spig)

China, china, on the sea shore
China, china, on the dance floor
China, china, i must have seen your face before

I’ve been to cairo and i’ve been to khartoum
I’ve seen them places from my rented room
I’ve been to paris and i’ve been to marseille
But that was nothing till i got to cathay

I’ve been to new york and i’ve been to l.a.
I’ve been to delhi and i’ve been to bombay
I’ve been to venice and i’ve been to rome
But now it’s peking that i think of as home

China, china, on the sea shore
China, china, on the dance floor
China, china, there’s no finer place on earth

China, china, i must have seen your face before

(transcribed by colin ford

China, china, the evening’s moving in
See you, soon now, the boat moves with the wind
China, china, i can see the harbour lights
Light your, fire, we’ll be warm tonight

China, china, the thoughts drift from the sea
I’m dreaming, of you, wear your dress for me
China, china, the oceans on the wheel(?)
The seagulls flying lower now
China i can feel you by my side
Across the bay, across the tyne
Can you hear me say

China, china, wear your hair down low
Lady, lady, you’re frozen to the bone
China, china, the catch was good today
The oilskins clinging to my back
And the lantern gently sways

Oh don’t you cry, the kids to bed
Didn’t mean the things i said

China, china, the years go rolling by
Laughter, sorrow, i will not make you cry
China, china, think before you speak
Always remember the ocean hauls as deep
And if i’m tired of feeling low
Don’t let me sleep, you know

China, china, the men are on the quay
Drinking, smoking, talking quietly
The water’s calmer now
All my work is done
So china, see ya.
