China In Your Hand by Tpau
China In Your Hand
Intro:
Bb F Eb
Verse:
Bb
It was a theme she had
Bb
On a scheme he had
F Eb Bb
told in a foreign land
Bb
To take life on earth
Bb
To the second birth
F Eb F/A
and the man was in command
Gm
It was a flight on the wings
D/F#
Of a young girls dreams
Bb/F Cm Cm/F F
That go too far away
(Verse chords)
And we could make the monster live again
Oh hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind
Chorus:
Eb F
Don't push too far
F A# F/A Gm F
Your dreams are china in your hand
Eb F
Don't wish too hard
Dm
Because they may come true
Eb F
And you can't help them
Eb F
You don't know what you might
A# F/A Gm Eb
Have set upon yourself
F Bb
China in your hand
(Verse)
Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of a man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our time
(Chorus)
Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand
(Verse)
On your hand
Your dreams are china in your hand
Wowow
Here in your hand
China in your hand
Whohohoh
Here in your hand
Break, Sax solo (Chorus cords)
(Chorus)
You take a flight on the wings of fantasy
You push too hard
And make your dreams reality
Yeah! For the china in your hand
But you shouldn't push too far
Fade out

version 2
Capo at 3rd fret: Chords below represent chord shapes rather than actual pitch. This is
not strictly how the song is played but sounds good for a single acoustic guitar.
Intro Chords:
G D/F# C/E
e---3--------2--------0---|
B---3--------3--------1---|
G---0--------2--------0---|
D---0--------0--------2---|
A---2-----------------3---|
E---3--------2*-------0*--|
* during the intro it sounds good to alternate between the bass notes on the low E
string and strumming the rest of the chord so on the D/F# you play the 2nd fret of
the E-string (can play with your left thumb) and then strum a regular D chord
whilst the bass note rings out - same with an open E followed by a regular C chord.
