For All The Tea In China
Buck Owens
Album: Kickin’ In (1991)


E                                A                  E
I always start to singin' every time you pull the string in
       A            E               B7
I'm standin' by to just be standin' by
       E                       A                  E
Yes I say I've had enough and this time I'm not bluffin'
         A              E    B7            E
But for all the tea in China I know it's a lie

E                                      A              E
And I said I wouldn't hang around for all the tea in China
     A              E            B7
For all the tea in China and my soul
       E                     A               E
Yes I say I'm gonna pack up this time gonna give up
         A              E    B7      E
But for all the tea in China I can't go

E                          A                   E
The palm of your hand now that's where you’ve got me
         A         E        B7
That's where I'm longin' to be
E                A             E
Try as I may now I just can't stop me
     A              E    B7                E
For all the tea in China I hang on desperately

E                                      A              E
And I said I wouldn't hang around for all the tea in China
     A               E           B7
For all the tea in China and my soul
       E                     A               E
Yes I say I'm gonna pack up this time gonna give up
         A              E    B7      E
But for all the tea in China I can't go


     A              E    B7      E
For all the tea in China I can't go
