Sketches Of China

Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun.

CHORD voicings:

Goodbye Mariah(?) mmm barely knows you
Somebody's bound to leave you
Sooner or later youre bound to pull
You don't even know what this man feels like
And he doesn't care, if you think you know
Somebody's bound to leave you
And that man got a smile on his face
Ah he'll be bound to go..

Let me tell you bout a man I knew, he rode the depth and the breadth of China
On a horse that he grew himself from the bark of a tree on mainland China
And he had the time,yes he had the time of his life in China
Carried peace and harmony to all the people on the mainland,yes he did.

And there was a warlord,rode the murky depths of China
With a shotgun in his hand and he wondered where the people had gone to
Have you got the time,to listen while I sing this song?
I have the time to listen to the man go right and wrong,and right through China

And it ain't what you want its what you need
No it ain't what you want its what you need
And I'd rather be here than yesterday
Oh it ain't what you want its what you need.

La la la la la ... 4X

And there was a lady / she rode around in town in China
Yeah there was a lady / she rode and rode
And she killed a war /she made the warlord rise in time
Sat him down,took him down and laid him out with just one more round

Drunk in a beautiful garden / celebration
Here comes the khan / storm the palace look for Alice
Rising Oriental girl / laid him back with just one more pearl(?)

And it ain't what you want its what you need
She don't want your south she wants your country
And I'd rather be next year than on the way to Bombay
And it ain't what you want its what you need....
