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.
