China Grove - Doobie Brothers (transcribed by Steve Wyrick)
Intro: EDAE (repeat 2x), EDA..
 E
 When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
 DAE
 Down around San Antone 
 E
 And the folks are risin' for another day
 DAE
 round about their homes
C#m B (E,B)
The people of the town are strange
 AAA#BC
and they're proud of where thecame,
Chorus:
 EDA
Well you're talkin' 'bout China Grove   
(background vocals: talkin' 'bout China Grove),
 E
Whoa oh ho...
 DAEDAE
 Who ho China Grove   
Well the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip hits the fan, they ain't lyin'
when the sun goes fallin' down
Well they say that the father's insane,
and dear Missus Perkins a game,
Chorus
Bridge:
 G#mBC#m
       Well every day there's a new thing comin',
 F#m7C#m
 The ways of an oriental view.
 C#m
 The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords,
 F#F#sus4F#G#mB
 you can even hear the music at night.  
 C#m
 And though it's a part of the Lone Star state
 F#m7C#m
 The people don't seem to care
A C,D,E CDE
They'll just keep on lookin' to the east...
instrumental break(6 sets of E,D,A,E like intro, then verse starting from C#m
to end)
Chorus
1 measure on E (end on beat 1)
