In China Or A Woman's Heart (There Are Places No Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Just a little box all covered [G]with
blossoms white as snow
[C]Chinese [D]red and [G]made of brass
that [A]he gave her [D]long ago
[G]Like the red dirt
Oklahoma hills and the
[C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they
shared in[D]side her [G]memory
She [D]got it from her captain when
[C]he sailed around [G]the horn
Bring[C]ing gifts from
Chin[G]a to their
[D]Oklahoma home
There were [G]fancy silks and carved wood
chests from the [C]places he had gone
She kept [G]them all until she died,
but this [D]was her favorite [G]one
Just a [C]little box all covered with
[G]blossoms white as snow
[C]Chinese [G]red and made of brass
that he [A]gave her long [D]ago
Like the [G]red dirt
Oklahoma hills and the
[C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they shared
in[D]side her [G]memory[D][G]
And she [D]kept it on her dresser filled
[C]with gold and silver [G]rings
[C]Necklaces of tur[G]quoise,
[D]beads, and other things
He [G]filled her heart with the mystery
and the [C]magic of the day
When he [G]gave it to her for her
own in his [D]quiet loving [G]way
Ten [D]years they were together,
he'd come [C]home and then he'd leave
[G]One day[C] while she[G] waited,
[D]he disappeared at sea
No [G]one knew how she'd call his name
to the [C]silent rocks and stones
Or how she'd [G]sit and hold that little buff
So she [D]would not feel [G]alone
Just a [C]little buff, soft -covered
With [G]blossoms white as snow
[C]Shiny, [G]red, and made of grass
That he [A]gave her long [D]ago
Like [G]the red dirt,
Oklahoma hills
And the [C]springtime flowering trees
That she [G]kept with all the love they shared in[D]side her
[G]memory[C][G][C]
[G][A][D][G][C]
[G][D][G]
No, she [D]never was a dancer
or [C]rode a fancy line
[G]The tre[C]asures of [G]her life
were the [D]things
she left behind
They [G]buried her without them
where the [C]prairie
grasses grow
In
[G]China, or a woman's heart,
there are [D]places
no one [G]knows
Just a [C]little box all covered
with blos[G]soms white as snow
[C]Chinese [G]red and made of brass
that he [A]gave her long [D]ago
Like the [G]red dirt
Oklahoma hills
and the [C]springtime flowering trees
that she [G]kept with all the love
they shared in[D]side her memories.
[G]They buried her without them
where the [C]prairie grasses grow.
[G]In
China or a woman's heart,
there are [D]places no one [G]knows.
