The Chinese believe there is a god of everything
    G5                          C5
A god of the sun, the moon, the wind and rain
  D5                             G5
It's hard to imagine and it may sound absurd
                            C5
But there's even a patron saint of bean curd
            D5                      G5

CHORUS
Guan Di is his name
G5              C5
Guan Di is his name
D5              G5
Guan Yu, Guan Me, Guan Di
                       C5
Guan Di is his name
D5              G5

In the mining town of Goldlick the year was eighteen-seventy
       G5                           C5
The Chinese came to work and rid themselves of poverty
    D5                        G5
Primitive conditions, long hours in the mines
                           C5
Trying to get ahead, grown men work for dimes
D5                    G5
Then one night it happened, disaster struck
                              C5
A rumble from below, the Chinese were stuck
  D5                      G5
An old Chinaman prayed, for the loved ones he so cherished
                                C5
Asking the saint of curd to protect the souls who perished
D5                              G5

CHORUS

With flashing red eyes and a flowing white beard
     G5                       C5
Everyone knew he was a god to be feared
D5                      G5
No living creature survived his wrath
                      C5
Everyone knew not to ever cross his path
D5                    G5
