C Em7 Am
He's stronger by talk than by sight
F
But by sight he'll know you
C Em7 Am F
You buy him a ride ooh then he knows you
C Em7 Am F
Somebody's bound to lead you
C Em7 Am F
Sooner or later you're bound to go
C Em7 Am
You don't know what this man feels like
F C Em7 Am
He doesn't care if you think you know
F C Em7 Am
Somebody's bound to lead you
F C Em7
That man got a smile on his face
Am F C
Sooner or later you're bound to go, bound to go
C Em7
Let me tell you bout a man I knew
Am F
He roamed the depth and the breadth of China
C Em7
On a horse that he grew himself
Am F
From the bark of a tree on mainland China
C Em7 Am F
And he had a time yes he had the time of his life in China
C Em7 Am F
He carried strife and harmony to all the people on the mainland yes he did
C Em7 Am F C Em7 Am F
C Em7 Am F
And there was a warlord who rode the murky depths of China
C Em7 Am F
With a shotgun in his hand and he wondered where the people'd gone to
C Em7 Am F
Have you got the time to listen while i sing this song
C Em7 Am F
I had the time to listen to the man go right and wrong and right thru China
[Chorus]
Bb F C
And it ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F C
No it ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F G
And I'd rather be here than yesterday
Bb F C Em7 Am F
It ain't what you want it's what you need It's what you need
[Bridge]
C Em7 Am F C Em7 Am F
C Em7 Am F C Em7 Am F
Lai dai da dai da dai
C Em7 Am F C Em7 Am F
Lai dai da dai (what you need) Lai dai da dai da dai
C Em7 Am F C Em7 Am F Em D B
Lai dai da dai (what you need)
B F
And there was a lady she rolled around in town in China
Em F
And there was a lady she rolled and rolled
Em F
And she killed a war she made the warlord rise in time
Em F
She sat him down took him down and she laid him out for just
Em F Em F
one more round
Em F
Drunk in a beautiful garden celebration
Em F
Here comes the Khan Storm the palace look for Alice
Em F
Rising Oriental girl diving back for just one more pearl
[Chorus]
Bb F C
And it ain't what she wants it's what she needs
Bb F C
She don't want your sound she wants your country
Bb F G
And I'd rather be next year than on the way to Bombay
Bb F C
It ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F C
It ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F C
It ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F C
It ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F C
It ain't what you want it's what you need
Bb F C
It ain't what you want it's what you need
