🎸 Verse 1:
G+G D MajorD      C majorC      G+G
Sundown and the bells are warning
   D MajorD     E minor 7Em7  C majorC
Did I miss the mailman again?
G+G D MajorD   C majorC      G+G
No-o, he had nothing for me
   D MajorD   C majorC
And nobody called today
  G+G  D MajorD    C majorC
And no one knows what to say

Black sun is beating down
  C majorC  G+G
On Chinatown

🎸 Verse 2:
G+G  D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
All-l of the sweetest flowers
G+G  D MajorD  E minor 7Em7      C majorC
They grow up on the sunny side
G+G  D MajorD  E minor 7Em7     C majorC    G+G
But down here, it's the darkest hour
    D MajorD    C majorC
And we run the other way
    G+G    C majorC
And midnight to yesterday

And we're always upside down

You don't understand my mind
G+G D MajorD       C majorC      G+G
Our love used to speak in Spanish
     D MajorD     C majorC
There's a poison in the air
  G+G D MajorD   C majorC
And fever's everywhere

Bad haze that hangs around
  C majorC   G+G
In Chinatown

C majorC    G+G
