[Verse 1] A F#m China girl, I met you on the sea sand. D You touched me with your cool hand. A Your perfume's in the wind. [Verse 2] A F#m China girl, your daddy tells you white lies D To keep you from my blue eyes. A To know me is no sin. [Chorus] F#m A And I won't break you, China girl, D A If you take me into your world. F#m D It's been my good fortune to find you, A China girl. [Verse 3] F#m Stolen flowers are sweetest in the mornin'. D The Eastern sun is dawnin'. A Your silk's against my skin. [Verse 4] F#m China girl, take me to your jasmine place. D Cool me with your subtle grace. A To know me is no sin. [Chorus] F#m A And I won't break you, China girl, D A If you take me into your world. F#m D It's been my good fortune to find you, A China girl.
