I am Japanese.I will play acoustic guitar in music lesson,I love David Bowie so I decided to play Bowie's songs.Since the album I listened the first time was Let`s dace,I wanted to play my favorite China girl.However, I think that this song is valid only when there is BASE of Carmine Rojas.So I was thinking how I could play China girl on acoustic guitar, and I came to this movie.Thanks to this video, I can play China girl.thank you very much!
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl Oh, oh, oh, little China girl I could escape this feeling, with my China girl I feel a wreck without my, little China girl I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing I'm a mess without my, little China girl Wake up mornings where's my, little China girl I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing down I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando When I look at my China girl I could pretend that nothing really meant too much When I look at my China girl I stumble into town just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head Plans for everyone It's in the whites of my eyes My little China girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are You know, I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you men's who want to rule the world And when I get excited My little China girl says Oh baby, just you shut your mouth She says, sh-sh-shhh She says, sh-sh-shhh She says She says And when I get excited My little China girl says Oh baby, just you shut your mouth And when I get excited My little China girl says Oh baby, just you shut your mouth She says, sh-sh-shhh She says Oh, oh, oh, little China girl Oh, oh, oh, little China girl Oh, oh, oh, little China girl Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
Absolutely mate,simplicity is key,Keep it simple stoner(in my case) lol,I'm subd to ya straight away,you,Steve Stine,365 and Marty Schwartz have got it smashed on
Thanx for this!! I just couldn't figure the bridge pattern,I get asked for this when i busk quite frequently and not having that bridge has left me reluctant to just fake with an Am7 but the C/G fits way more melodicphrase-wise. totes appreciate the leg-up🤘L8rs..i saw this tour Stevie Ray Vaughn played it on Let's Dance right but the guitarist from Steely Dan started the tour but was quickly replaced by Carlos Alomar..if i remember correctly i saw the Toronto ontario & Buffalo, new york shows summer of 83 i was just turnin twelve that summer & my father was a touring musician himself & arranged for tix thru his old drummer from a band he was in just b4 i was born in 72 called Titanic (Neal Peart pre-RUSH was that drummer they were in a semi- big prog rock band together called TITANIC & were the opener's for Alice Cooper's first really big tour in 1969 but when my mom got pregger's w/me in 71 they disbanded after finishing the contractual arrangements they had committed to which if i'm not mistaken was a few amusement park festivals in NewYork state; Detroit ;Windsor ;Toronto's CNE all day rock-athon with like 7 other bands like Steppinwolf,The Stooges; Crazyhorse(minus Neil Younge though) Graymartin etc...l8rs🤘☺
Excellent, just found this and thankfully the left handed version was included at last, extremely useful, I'll try this later on, though the Iggy Pop version is running through my head.
I’m a righty but it’s easier to read the left handed chord chart. Go figure? It’s also easier if I flip a right handers video to pick up what he’s playing as if they were a lefty. Anyone else have this mind defect? 😂 great video 👍🏽
Nice job but Nile Rodgers doesn't really play cowboy chords. The intro is double stops and verses, bridge & chorus are all barre chords. The F & G in the bridge are at the 10th & 8th positions, respectively. But you played it well. Just needs to be a little more funky!
Right handed guitarist here! Thanks for including both left & right chord boxes. This is the next one I’ll be adding to my Bowie repertoire

pattern: Ddu-Ddu-Ddudu
D-down, U-up
The sharpness and accurracy if you hand mouvements show how trained you are. Thumbs up.
This is how a lesson should be presented. thanks!
Great song to play for my China girl. Thank you man.
The best lesson on RUclips...
Thank you!
Génial je viens de vivre un grand moment avec ma guitare grasse à toi ! Merci.
J'ai fais une vidéo de cette chanson en hommage !
Been looking for these cords to this song brill
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
I could escape this feeling, with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing
I'm a mess without my, little China girl
Wake up mornings where's my, little China girl
I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the whites of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
You know, I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men's who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says, sh-sh-shhh
She says, sh-sh-shhh
She says
She says
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh baby, just you shut your mouth
She says, sh-sh-shhh
She says
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
Oh, oh, oh, little China girl
Great job mate. As others have said, this is how it should be presented (lefty here too)
I'm a righty but this was fantastic mate,didn't utter a word,ya don't need to,superb teacher,love n peace 420
Thanks, glad you found it useful. Short and simple is the key. Hope you enjoy more of my videos.
Absolutely mate,simplicity is key,Keep it simple stoner(in my case) lol,I'm subd to ya straight away,you,Steve Stine,365 and Marty Schwartz have got it smashed on

Thank you, much aporeciated.
Thank you
Thanks a lot
Thank you.
Amazing tutorial! Strum pattern pls
Magnifique !! Merci pour cette superbe leçon ;-)
Best tutorial of RUclips!!! Does the strumming pattern change along the song? Or is there only one pattern?
Thank you! I kept it more or less the same all the way through, apart from the short quieter section at the end. Looks like I'm doing D-DUD-DU.
I am using this to learn the song on my ukulele ^_^
Excellent, just found this and thankfully the left handed version was included at last, extremely useful, I'll try this later on, though the Iggy Pop version is running through my head.
Thank you!!!!
Super :) Dzięki

Yes, I know. This is just a simple acoustic strum-along version :)
Perry DiMarco man I was waiting for the Stevie Ray Vaughan lick, but realized your not playing a caster.
There's always one,Mr. perfectionist,do one better then
It would be better if the vocals were brought up. I can’t hear it over my guitar when I play along.
My later videos definitely have better audio mixing ;)
Learn the song by heart and then you can play along with your own copy!
