[Verse]
         E                                   
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
D    A          E     
Down around San Antone
        E                              
And the folks are risin for another day
D     A           E    
Round about their homes


[Chorus]
Dbm                        B7      B
The people of the town are strange ■
            A                   C7   C
And they're proud of where they came ■
E                               D    
■ Well you're talkin bout china grove
   A     E    
Oh china grove
D A E D A E

[Verse]
         E                       
Well the preacher and the teacher
E                     
Lord they're a caution
D        A               E   
They are the talk of the town
         E                   
When the gossip gets to flyin
    E              
And they ain't lyin
         D   A               
When the sun goes fallin down


[Chorus]
E    Dbm                   B     
They say that the father's insane
    A                     C   
And dear missus Perkins a game
     E                     D     A
Were talkin bout the china grove ■
E  A       E     D A E
Oh ■ china grove ■ ■ ■
Dbm                                   
But every day theres a new thing comin
    Gbm                 Dbm  Dbm7
The ways of an oriental view ■   
Dbm7                       
The sheriff and his buddies
           Dbm7          
With their samurai swords
Gb7                                 
You can even hear the music at night
Dbm7 Dbm Dbm7                                Dbm  
■    And though it's a part of the lone star state
Gbm                  Dbm 
People don't seem to care
A7                              A   
They just keep on lookin to the east
