[Opening]
[G]My transistor radio comes from far [Am]away
And when it's [D7]night over here over there it's a breaking day[G]
I remember all the good times I had walking in the [Am]sand
With a b[D7]eautiful girl that I met made in Ja[G]pan
[verse 2]
The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest [Am]dreams
Like ch[D7]erry blossoms blooming in the mountains in the early sp[G]ring
As we walked by the river and she softly took hold of my [Am]hand
That's when I f[D7]ell deep in love with a girl made in J[G]apan
[verse 3]
Short Turnaround
[verse 4]
In[A] the dark of night we would lay on Tokyo b[Bm]ay
And the sing[E7]ing of the birds woke us up at the break of day[A]
Her smiling eyes always seemed to try to underst[Bm]and
All the [E7]love in my heart for the girl made in Ja[A]pan
[Closing]
My transistor radio comes from far [Bm]away
And when it's [E7]night over here over there it's a breaking d[A]ay
She cried when she said she'd been promised to another [Bm]man
That's when I [E7]left my heart with the girl made in Ja[A]pan
Yes my h[Bm]eart will always be with the [E7]girl made in Ja[A]pan
