(Capo 3) No need to play the whole D chord; just do a walk down from the G to the Em7 and hit the F# bsss note on the E, second fret. [Intro] G D Em7 C G [Verse 1]
G  D            C            G
Sundown and the bells are warning

      D          Em7   C
Did I miss the mailman again?

G  D     C            G
No-o, he had nothing for me

     D     C
And nobody called today

   G   D        C
And no one knows what to say

G     D      Em7
Black sun is beating down

   C    G
On Chinatown

G   D        C        G
All-l of the sweetest flowers

G    D   Em7            C
They grow up on the sunny side

G   D    Em7          C        G
But down here, it's the darkest hour

       D       C
And we run the other way

And midnight to yesterday

And we're always upside down

In Chinatown

You don't understand my mind

Our love used to speak in Spanish

          D         C
There's a poison in the air

And fever's everywhere

Bad haze that hangs around

   C     G
In Chinatown
[Outro]

Baa-d haze that hangs around.
