An Irishman In Chinatown Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]
[G]Oh the other day in Chinatown
A place [D]you all know well
[G]I was taking in the action [D]all around
[G]There was people rushing
everywhere
With things [D]to buy and sell
[G]There was taxis looking for someone
to [D]run down
[G]I was studying the walkmans in a special
[D]discount store
[G]When I saw her walking by
[D]Oh, she[G] was unbelievably
beautiful
[D]And I'd love the things she wore
[G]So there and then up to her I [D]did fly
We could go [G]for a walk
We could [D]maybe stay in
We could [G]have a good talk
But then [D]again
I'd love to just take you for
a walk down Broadway
Or any other way
Just yourself and meself, ah go on!
[G]She says "I come from China"
I says "I'm [D]from Ireland"
[G]And "Isn't this a fine small [D]world"
So we [G]went down
to the village
[D]And we'd been walking hand in hand
Admir[G]ing all the [D]things
I couldn't afford
We could go [G]for a walk
We could may[D]be stay in
We could [G]have a good talk
But then [D]again
I'd love to just give you one
small kiss
Just a little one, ah go on!
Oh [G]well, she brought me back to
her place
Just to drink a [D]cup of tea
[G]She brought me in and made me
[D]feel at home
It was a tiny [G]room she lived
in [D]with another family
But they [G]were out and we were [D]all alone
We could go [G]for a walk
[D]We could maybe stay in
We could [G]have a good talk
But then [D]again
I suppose we could get nice and toasty
Watch [G]some [D]TV, see what happens,
ah go on!
[G]Well, I woke up on the sidewalk
There was no [D]one there at all
[G]She must have gone with Luka [D]left behind
And when [G]I turned around
to look for her
She couldn't [D]hear me call
So the [G]whole affair was only [D]in me mind
[G]Ah[D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D][G]
[D]
[G][D][G][D][G]
[D]...[G][D]
[G]We[D][G][D]
could go for a [G]walk
We could maybe stay [D]in
We could have a good [G]talk
[D]But then again ...
[G]
