G                Dsus4           Em               C  C/B C/A
Oo -lah, la -la, la -la, la -la, la -la, la, la - la,
G                Dsus4           Em               C  C/B C/A

[Verse 2]
G              D/F#             Em          C  C/B  Dm7/A
Foolish child, shade your eyes, blanket the sun,
G                D/F#         Em          C   Dm7/A
    Came the day I  am safe,  you are the one,
G           D/F#          Em             C   C/B  C/A
    A magic carpet ride,  dreams and all true,
G           D/F#     Em            C
    See my alabaster child ...roll on

[Chorus]
A                                 C
    'Cause I'm an Earthbound boy,
C      G/B   A            Cadd9   D
And ...so ...I ...worship you--------...
         G                Dsus4           Em              C
...china doll! 
        (Oo -lah, la -la, la- la, la- la, la- la, la, la - la!)

C    C/B  G               Dsus4           Em               C  C/B C/A
Chi - na doll!
        (Oo -lah, la -la, la -la, la -la, la -la, la, la - la!)

[Verse 3]
G                  D/F#         Em            C
Eyes that shine ...hide behind, pale and un - sure,
G                  D/F#          Em         C      C/D  C/E
     Did my broken promise break your china heart?
G            D/F#               Em         C       C/B  C/A
   My little black haired girl, porcelain doll,
G              D/F#      Em                    C
   Sink slowly into this blank heart of mine

[Chorus]
A                                 C
    'Cause I'm an Earthbound boy,
 C     G/B   A            Cadd9   D
And ...so ...I ...worship you--------
          G                 Dsus4           Em              C

[Verse 4]
A                E/G#             F#m         D    D/C#  D/B
Feel my flailing arms around your neck, china doll,
A             E/G#               F#m            D    D/C#
Feel my crazy silence 'round the depths of your soul,
    D/B      A         E/G#            F#m             D
And all the misery and crying, all the reasons I don't give,
             A              E/G#           F#m               D
You're gonna wake up in the morning with a crowd 'round your bed

[Chorus]

And ...so  ...I ...worship you--------
