Shootout In Chinatown - The Band [Intro] G F D G F G [Verse 1]
G
Trouble on the waterfront Evil in the air

         C
When the Chinatown patrol came down

   A
To bring a little order there

G
They came in undercover
To the laundry's back room
    C
And right there before their eyes

      A          G
Was a Shanghai saloon
[Chorus]
C        C#dim  G       Em
Shoot out in    Chinatown

C                         G        D C
They lined them up against the wall

C          C#dim               G      D   Em
They're gonna   turn the place upside  down

G              C                 G
Till you won't recognize it at all
Gm [Verse 2]
G
Streets were wide open Till the break of dawn

      C                  Bb
'Twas Frisco in its heyday

  A                G
Imported from Hong Kong

G
For about five dollars or one thousand yen

          C                            Bb
You could gamble and ramble in a brothel

   Asus4      A         G
Or take it to the opium den
[Chorus]
C        C#dim G       Em
Shoot out in   Chinatown

C                    G   D C
They nailed up every door

C             C#dim     G      Em
They're gonna level it to the ground

G            C       G    C G F G
And close it up for evermore
[Verse 3]
G
Confucius had once stated all across the land

Bm   C
  Below the surface, crime and love

A                       G
They go hand in hand the fire dragons burn

                  Bm
Buddha's lost his smile

C
But swears that we will meet again

   A             G
In just a little while
[Chorus]
C         C#dim G        Em
Shoot out in    Chinatown

C                              G   D C
They lined them up against the wall

C             C#dim          G      Em
They're gonna turn the place upside down

G              C               G   Gm
Till you won't recognize it at all
[Outro] G
