In China Or A Woman's Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Just a little box all covered [G]with
blossoms white as snow
[C]Chinese [D]red and [G]made of brass
that [A]he gave her [D]long ago
[G]Like the red dirt
Oklahoma hills
and the [C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they
shared in[D]side her [G]memory
She [D]got it from her captain
when he [C]sailed around [G]the Horn
Bring[C]ing gifts from Chin[G]a
to their [D]Oklahoma home
There were [G]fancy silks
and carved wood chests
from the [C]places he had gone
She kept them [G]all until she died,
but this [D]was her favorite [G]one.
Just a [C]little box all covered with
[G]blossoms white as snow,
[C]Chinese [G]red and made of brass
that he [A]gave her long [D]ago.
Like the [G]red dirt
Oklahoma hills
and the [C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they shared
in[D]side her [G]memory[D][G]
And she [D]kept it on her dresser
filled [C]with gold and silver [G]rings
Neck[C]laces of tur[G]quoise,
[D]beads and other things
He [G]filled her heart with the mystery
and the [C]magic of the day
When he [G]gave it to her for her own
in his [D]quiet loving [G]way
Ten [D]years they were together,
he'd come [C]home and then he'd [G]leave
One [C]day while [G]she waited,
[D]he disappeared at sea
No [G]one knew how she'd call his name
to the [C]silent rocks and stones
Or how she'd [G]sit and hold that little box
so she [D]would not feel [G]alone
Just a [C]little box all covered with
[G]blossoms white as snow
[C]Shiny as [G]red and made of brass
that he [A]gave her long [D]ago
Like the [G]red dirt
Oklahoma hills
and the [C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they shared in[D]side her
[G]memory[C][G][C]
[G][A][D][G][C]
[G][D][G]
No, she [D]never was a dancer
or [C]wrote a fancy line
[G]The tre[C]asures of [G]her life
were the [D]things she left behind
They [G]buried her without them
where the [C]prairie grasses grow
In [G]China, or a woman's heart,
there are [D]places no [G]one knows
Just a [C]little box all covered with
blos[G]soms white as snow
[C]Chinese [G]red and made of brass
that he [A]gave her long [D]ago
Like the [G]red dirt
Oklahoma hills
and [C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they
shared in[D]side her memories
[G]They buried her without them
where the [C]prairie grasses grow
In [G]China or a woman's heart
there are [D]places no one knows
[G]You
