DISCOVERING JAPAN by Graham Parker
Intro: /Bm /D /A /A /3x lead gtr riff; D C# D E, D C# A E 3x
DHer heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly qGuaking.
DThe Tokyo taxi's braking, it's screaming to a Ahalt.
GThere's nothing toA hold on to, Bmwhen gravity betraysG you,
AAnd ev'ry kiss enslavesD you..... Bm
DShe knows how hard her heart grows, under the nuclear shGadows,
DShe can't escape the feeling, repealing in her hAead.
GWhen after all the Aurges, Bmsome kind of tGruth emerges,
AWe felt the deadly surges, DBmiscovAering JaGpanD, A Discovering GJapDan.A
(B F# G F#, B F# G F#, B B)
DThe G.I.'s only use her, they always ram rGight through her,
DGiving an eastern promise, that they could Anever keep.
GSee-ing the Amillion miles, Bm between their jGokes and smiles,
AShe heard their hard Ddenials....Bm...
Bm As the tears drop sideways down her face, A face,
Bm I wake up taling in the tongue of a diff'rent Arace, race,
And asBm the flight touches down, myG watch says Eight-O-Two,
ButA that's me at night to Bmyou, Ame at night to Bmyou,
AMe at night to youBm.................D....A.. G A
DI dream in long collisions, in jet-lagged Gpana-visions,
DI shouted "Sayonara", ItA didn't mean good-bye.
GBut lovers tuArn to posesBm, show up inG filmed exposures,
AJust like in travel brochures, Bm DiscoAvering JaGpanD, ADiscoveringG JaDpan,A
Discovering GJapDan,A Discovering GJapDan,A
Discovering GJapDan,A Discovering GJapDan.A
(B F# G F#, B F# G F# B B)
