This is reported to be played with open tuning but what tuning

exactly I don't know. I have created a simple version which

gets me by. It involves sliding the Cadd 9 up but leaving

the other strings open. In the chorus there is a flourish

which I play as Em9 054030 and Em7(2) 050430 to get back

to the G



Intro: G repeated to get the rhythm



G

From China to Chinatown New York to Tokyo

030010 050030

C Cadd9 Em7

Upstate to down Island From here to there



From the backyard to the wide wide open spaces

From the steel mills to the wind in your hair

From the claustrophobic beat of my heart

to the openness of your smile

We're in this together going the distance

right down to the last mile



CHORUS

G

Cos you're my partner You are my partner

C Em9 Em7 Em9

You're my partner for life



(twice, then twice with just chords)



Up the coast of Africa to the Straits of Gibraltar

through that tunnel where the birds migrate

In a hotel room without running water

and all the clocks are running one hour late

And on the wall are paintings of couples intertwined

locked in embraces as if fighting for their lives

And the warm night air breathes through the open window

And husbands cling to their wives



CHORUS repeat
