CHINA GIRL

(Iggy Pop)
Em
I could escape this feeling
Am
With my china girl
Em
I feel a wreck without my
Am
Little china girl
Em
I hear her hearts beating
G
Loud as thunder
Am
B
Saw their stars crashing
I'm mess without my
Little china girl
Make up mornings where's my
Little china girl
I hear her heart's beating
Loud as thunder
Saw their stars crashing down
G
I feel a-tragic like I
F
Was Marlon Brando
Em
D
When I look at my china girl
G
I could pretend that nothing
F
Really meant too much
Em
D
When I look at my china girl

Em
I stumble into town
D
Just like a sacred cow
C
Visions of swastikas in my head
B
Plans for everyone
Em
D
C B
It's in the white of my eyes
Em
My little china girl
D
You shouldn't mess with me
C
B
I'll ruin everything you are
Em
I'll give you television

D
I'll give you eyes of blue
C

B
I'll give you man who want to rule the world

G
And when I get excited
F
My little china girl says
Em
D
Oh, Jimmy, just you shut your mouth, she says:
Em D C B
Shhhh...
-----------The song is vey simple, just two chords. It's only Am and F.
It goes like this:

Am
F
Status seekers I never cared
Am
F
Once I found out they never dared
Am
F
To seize the world and shake it upside down
Am
F
And every stinking bum should wear a crown
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/i/iggy-pop/282332.html ]
Am
Sayin' I cry for love
F
Till all the plates are broken
Am
Cry for love
F
Until my eyes are soakin'
Am
Yeah I cry for love
F
Oh every sammy morning
Am
Yeah I cry for love
F
'cause imitation's boring
Am
Cry for love
It's the same structure for the other verse and chorus.
And the little string riff that goes after the chorus is this:
