John Mellencamp – Welcome To Chinatown (Guitar)

       A
In the cool of the evening

A
I don't know the reason

      D
But I long to touch some young tender hearts sometimes

     A
So I go to this party

A
With a bunch of me hardies

         D
They say don't get too cute, don't get too smart

             A
'Cause these people are crazy

A
They toot coke and drink wang-too

         D
And they talk in some crazy tongue

          A
There's a slit-eyed lady

A
Sayin', "Don't you be so stupid"

         D
I may be old but I'm still good fun

           A
Still good fun

                     D
Yeah, I'm still good fun

           A
Still good fun

                     D
Yeah, I'm still good fun

      A
Well, I ain't that choosy

A
I'll flip-flop with a floozy

     D
If I figure there's no strings attached

        A
But sometimes I loose my feet

A
Underneath the back seat

      D
And I have to fly my heart at half mast

          A
Well now, this old bitty

A
She was smart and she was witty

    D
She really was out of control you know

       A
It was stumble or fall

A
I had my back to the wall

                 D
I didn't know to bet on win, place or show

G           D    A
"Welcome to Chinatown," she said

           G        D    A
"I'm gonna lay your body down," she said

            G              D            A
"I ain't no queen, but I'm wearin' this crown," she said

C          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

C          D    A     N.C.
Welcome to Chinatown

          A
Well, she shimmered and she shook

A
What she wanted, she took

          D
She shook like some rickshaw ride

              A
She stuck her fingers down my throat

A
Till I almost choked

              D
I thought I'd gone to heaven and died

          A
Well, she took me by the ear

A
Said, "What do you want to hear, boy?

            D
You want to hear those crazy old lies?"

         A
I said, "Nothing you can say, girl

A
Can drive me away

                 D
Just check my complexion

D
Make sure I'm still alive"

G           D    A
"Welcome to Chinatown," she said

           G        D    A
"I'm gonna lay your body down," she said

            G              D            A
"I ain't no queen, but I'm wearin' this crown," she said

C          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

C          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

G          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

G          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

G          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

G          D    A
