[Intro]
A   D   A   D
A   D   A   D
 
 
[Verse 1]
       A
In the cool of the evening
A
I don't know the reason
      D
But I long to touch some young tender hearts sometimes
     A
So I go to this party
A
With a bunch of me hardies
         D
They say don't get too cute, don't get too smart
 
 
[Verse 2]
             A
'Cause these people are crazy
A
They toot coke and drink wang-too
         D
And they talk in some crazy tongue
          A
There's a slit-eyed lady
A
Sayin', "Don't you be so stupid"
         D
I may be old but I'm still good fun
           A
Still good fun
                     D
Yeah, I'm still good fun
           A
Still good fun
                     D
Yeah, I'm still good fun
 
 
[Verse 3]
      A
Well, I ain't that choosy
A
I'll flip-flop with a floozy
     D
If I figure there's no strings attached
        A
But sometimes I loose my feet
A
Underneath the back seat
      D
And I have to fly my heart at half mast
 
 
[Verse 4]
          A
Well now, this old bitty
A
She was smart and she was witty
    D
She really was out of control you know
       A
It was stumble or fall
A
I had my back to the wall
                 D
I didn't know to bet on win, place or show
 
 
[Chorus]
G           D    A
"Welcome to Chinatown," she said
           G        D    A
"I'm gonna lay your body down," she said
            G              D            A
"I ain't no queen, but I'm wearin' this crown," she said
C          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown
C          D    A     N.C.
Welcome to Chinatown
 
 
[Interlude]
A   D   A   D
 
 
[Verse 5]
          A
Well, she shimmered and she shook
A
What she wanted, she took
          D
She shook like some rickshaw ride
              A
She stuck her fingers down my throat
A
Till I almost choked
              D
I thought I'd gone to heaven and died
 
 
[Verse 6]
          A
Well, she took me by the ear
A
Said, "What do you want to hear, boy?
            D
You want to hear those crazy old lies?"
         A
I said, "Nothing you can say, girl
A
Can drive me away
                 D
Just check my complexion
D
Make sure I'm still alive"
 
 
[Chorus]
G           D    A
"Welcome to Chinatown," she said
           G        D    A
"I'm gonna lay your body down," she said
            G              D            A
"I ain't no queen, but I'm wearin' this crown," she said
C          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown
C          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown

Welcome to Chinatown
G          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown
G          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown
G          D    A
Welcome to Chinatown
