Capo III 



                    C                    G 
If you had the real thing, how would you tell? 

          F 
Liars can say it all just as well 

      C        G                  F 
Every single word you've heard in vain 

           C                   G 
Baubles of gold, stars in your hair 

                 F 
Reflections that told you they were not there 

        C                   G                  F 
And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames 

              G               C          Am 
And up in the air, they would write your name there 

    F          G       E      Am 
But love would fall to pieces in the rain 

Am             G                   G            F 
Who would know better than you?  A hundred love letters and none of them true 

C                 G   F 
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah 

C                 G   F 
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah 

It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things 
With nothing so rare as the love that it brings 
In the silence of a smile that understands 
A piece of the action, pieces of gold 
Everyone's paid well and does what they're told 
For the simple daughter of a simple man 

And up in the air, they would write your name there 
But love would fall to pieces in the rain 
Who would know better than you?  A hundred love letters and none of them true 
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah 
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah 

C                 G              F 
Christina, oh-wah-oh-wah oh-wah, yeah 

C                 G              D        F         C 
Christina, oh-wah-oh-wah oh-wah, ye - e - ah
