Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) (C major) In Limehouse
In yellow chinkies love to play
(E minor) In Lime (C major) house (E minor)
You can hear those blues (G major) all day
(C major) And they seem (F major) all around
(E major) Like a long, (A minor) long sigh (C major)
We're sobbed down
For all (F minor) the time they seem to (C major) cry (C minor)
(B minor) Oh, (B flat minor) (A flat major) Limehouse kid,
oh, Limehouse kid,
(F major) going the way that the rest of them did.
(E flat major) Poor broken blossom
and (G major) nobody's (C minor) child.
Haunted (F major) and taunted,
you're just kind (D flat major) (C major) of (Bdim) wild, (B flat major) (E flat major) oh
(A flat major) Limehouse blues
are the real limehouse blues
Learn (F major) from the (C major) chink is the (F major)
sad sign of blues
(E flat major) Rings on my (C major) fingers and (F minor) tears for a crown (F major)
That (B major) is (A flat minor) the (B flat major) story of (E flat major) old Chinatown.
(A flat major) (F major) (C major) (C minor) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (C minor)
(E flat major) (G major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (B flat major) (A flat major) Limehouse blues,
I'm the real limehouse blues,
Learned (F major) from the chink in
the satin of blues.
Who ring (E flat major) s on my fin (C major) gers
and (F major) cheers for a crown
That (B major) is (A flat minor) the story (B flat major) of (E flat major) our Chinatown
