The Chinatown Bus
Bishop Allen
The Broken String
NO CAPO!
Intro:
B, Bsus4,
B
I caught the bus in Chinatown and slept the whole way up I-95
G#m
The driver, cut and weaved so crazy, just his luck kept him
F#
alive I guess I believed his rhythm on that morning after
B
New Year's Eve
F#
B
And I remember Shanghai, how I wasn't sure just what was safe to
G#m
eat the chickens pecked and wandered at the barefoot ankles of the
F#
children hawking figurines of workers smiling what's the Chinese
B
word for cheese?
F#
B
Watched a sidewalk butcher his instinctive understanding made the
G#m
carcass snap and clarify beneath his nimble hand that held the
F#
knife so long, so many times, the handle's changed to shapes just like his
B
fingers and his
F#
palms
B
And I, I am a passenger tonight I watch the
F#
world from
E
inside.
Interlude:
B
B
It's 2AM in Tokyo and still too soon to call back to the
F#
people who will soon begin the day I polished off and I will
G#m
walk a mile amidst the neon lights that advertise I don't
B
know just what they
F#
sell
B
I tell the taxi driver, "To the park Hyatt-o" And his
G#m
gloves are pristine white just like the girls I used to know would wear to
F#
dance their first cotillion, every single one of them named
B
Jennifer
F#
B
I clutched at the St. Christopher I picked up at some country abbey
G#m
long ago when I believed he'd keep me safe and make me happy
F#
but it seems the luck he brings is not the common currency a
B
penny in
F#
Japan
B
And I, I am a passenger tonight I watch the
F#
world from
E
inside.
Interlude:
B, Bsus4
B
And I, I am a passenger tonight I watch the
F#
world from
E
inside.
Outro:
B, Bsus4
Abm should technically be G#m, and Abm and F# should be flipped in Verse 4.
