China My China Chords by Brian Eno

[C#] In the _ haze of the morning,
_ _ _ shine the silks on eternity,
[A#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and [C#] be _ hokey and long,
and settle dreams to a joy of _ [A#] eternities.
[F#] _ _ _ [A#] _ [F#] _
_ _ [A#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ On the horizon, _ [B] the _ curtains [A#] are closing.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
Down in the orchard, _ _ _
aunties and uncles play [A#] their [F#]
games,
_ [A#] _ [F#] _ like [A#] it [F#] seems they [A#] always [F#] have done.
[C#] _ _
In the blue-vis,
_ the birds in the loft are singing [A#] their [F#] themes,
_ _ [A#] _ [F#] _ like it seems they always have [G#] done. _
Lofts ticking _ slowly,
[B] _ _
lighting [A#] the _ day up. _ _
_ [C#] These poor girls are such fun,
they know what God gave them their [A#] fingers [F#] for. _ _ _
You are the person I would be sad _

_ _ [A] _ _ [C#] Child of my child,
_ I've _ wandered around and you're [A#] still [F#] here,
_ _ [A#m] _
[F#] _ which [A#] I [F#] guess you should be proud [C#] of.
Your walls have been closed,
and I've kept you at home for thousands [A#] of [F#] years.
[A#] _ _
[F#m] _ [A#] But there's [F#] something [A#] I should [F#m] tell [G#] you,
_ all the young boys, they [B] are dressing [A#] like _ sailors.
_ _ I [C#] _
remember a man who jumped
out from a window over [A#] the bay.
[F#] _ _ [A#] _ [F#] _ There [A#m] was [F#] hardly a raised _ eyebrow,
the [C#] _
_ coroner told me,
this _ kind of thing happens [A#] every [F#]
day.
_ [A#] _ [F#] _ _ _ [A#] _ [F#m] _
_ _ [A#] _ _ [F#m] You [G#] see, _ from the _ pagoda,
the _ [B] _
world is [A#] so _ _ tidy. _
