China In Your Hand----T' Pau


A simpler version of the 80's hit.
Intro:
C  G  F

Verse 1:

C
It was a theme she had
C
On a scheme he had  
G         F          C
told in a foreign land
C
To take life on earth
       C7
To the second birth
        G       F     C
and the man was in command   
G        Am
It was a flight on the wings
     E
Of a young girl's dreams
     Am7           Dm7
That flew too far away

(Verse chords):
    
And we could make the monster live again
Oh hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind

Chorus:
 
F              G
Don't push too far
                C        G         Am  G
Your dreams are china in your hand
F             G
Don't wish too hard
             Em7
Because they may come true
    F         G
And you can't help them
F              G
You don't know what you might
     C   G        Am7 G
Have set upon yourself
C        G    
China in your hand

Verse 2:
 
Come from greed   
Never born of the seed
Took life from a barren hand   
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of a man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our time

Chorus:

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand

Verse 3:

On your hand
Your dreams are china in your hand
Wowow
Here in your hand 
China in your hand
Whohohoh
Here in your hand 

Break, Sax solo (Chorus cords) 

Chorus:

You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
You push too hard
And make your dreams reality
Yeah! For the china in your hand
But you shouldn't push too far

Fade out...
