Chinatown Chords & Lyrics by Bob Schneider

Chinatown

guitar chords lyrics

Bob Schneider

Figured this out while watching the "Sleepover Shows" video. You're going to have
to listen and play around a little bit to find the right strumming pattern, but
once you get that, it's pretty simple.

All open chords, but I might have mislabeled "B7"

Capo 4th fret

Em G Am Em

Em G B7 Em

Em G Am Em
There's a cold wind blowin down the ninety nine
Em G B7 Em
And the ghosts of New York City they'll be doin' just fine
Em G Am Em
When that little Smith & Wesson went and lit up the night
Em G B7 Em
All she show'd when she heard were them cold pearly whites
Am Em
None of them kisses dropped down in the hole
Am Em
While the midnight sun played the starring role
Em Am
Was gonna turn around that black Cadillac
G B7
Filled with little white rails those are the cold hard facts
Em G Am Em Em Am
So when you're done dancing and the rain slows down
C G B7 Em G Am Em Em G B7 Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
Em G Am Em
Now you think you know the answer but you got it all wrong
Em G B7 Em
And the days too short and the nights are way too long
Em G Am Em
you wake up to find your whole world falling apart
Em G B7 Em
In a fifty dollar dress over a broken heart
Am Em
Dig in the dirt while you're dancin with the dogs
Am Em
Roll around lost in the fog
Em Am
Bangin' on tomorrow like a big black drum
G B7
Kick your head back and spit at the sun
Em G Am Em Em Am
So when you're done dancing and the lights go down
C G B7 Em G Am Em Em G B7 Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
Em G Am Em
There's a fifty on the table there's trouble down the line
Em G B7 Em
200,000 dollars in a bag they'll never find
Em G Am Em
You know you'll never see her walking through your door
Em G B7 Em
& the bars about to close and the sky's about to pour
Am Em
You take your last slug and stumble to the street
Am Em
Pull your gun out and you whisper trick or treat
Em Am
And as you pull the trigger beyond a shadow of a doubt
G B7
You hear her whispering your name and then the lights go out
Em G Am Em Em Am
So when you're done dancing and the lights go down
C G B7 Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
C G B7 Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
C G B7 Em G Am Em Em G B7 Em
We'll all meet up at Eddy's o'er in chinatown
