Luka Bloom - An Irishman In Chinatown chords
Start Jamming...
A song about being in love in your head.
[F] [C#]
A song about an Irishman.
An Irishman in New York actually.
He totally plays seesaw.
[C#m] An Irishman in Chinatown.
[C#]
It's a very sad story.
What are you laughing at?
It's not funny.
You're laughing at my pain!

[F#] The other day in Chinatown, [C#m] a place you won't know well,
I was [F#] taking in the [C#] action all around.
[F#] There was people rushing [C#] everywhere with things to buy and sell.
There was [F#] taxis looking for someone [C#] to run down.
[F#] I was studying the [C#m] walkmans at a special discount [C#] store,
when I saw [F#] her [C#] walking by.
[F#] Oh, she was unbelievably beautiful, [C#m] and I loved the things she [F#] wore.
So there and then up to [G#] her I did fly.
[F#] We could go for a walk.
We [C#] could maybe sing.
We could [F#] have a good talk, but [G#] then again.
[B] [C#] [D#m] I'd love to just take you for a [C#] walk down Broadway.
[F#] Or any other way.
[C#] Just yourself and me.
I could walk!
[F#] She said I come from China, [C#m] I said I'm from Ireland.
[F#] And in the list I'll find [C#] smaller worlds.
[F#] So we went down to Greenwich Village and we [C#m] were walking [F#] hand in hand.
Admiring all the things I [C#] couldn't afford.
We [F#] could go for a walk.
We [C#] could maybe sing.
[F#] We could have a good talk, but [C#] then again.
I'd love to just give you one small kiss.
[F#] Just a little one.
[C#]
I'd go on!
Oh well, [F#] she brought me back to her place [C#m] just to drink a cup of tea.
[F#] She brought me in and made me feel [C#] at home.
[F#] It was a tiny room she lived in [C#m] with another [F#] family.
But yet they were out and we [G#] were all alone.
We [F#] could go for a walk.
We [C#] could maybe sing.
[F#] We could have a good talk, but [C#] then again.
[B] [C#] I suppose we could get nice and toasty.
[F#] And watch some TV.
And see what happens.
[F#] Oh well, I woke up on the [C#m] sidewalk.
There was no one there at all.
[F#] She must have gone with [C#] Luca left behind.
[F#] And when I turned around to look for her, [C#m] she couldn't hear me call.
[F#] So the whole affair was only [C#] in my mind.

[F#] We're gonna have a good time, but in the [C#] game.
