DISCOVERING JAPAN by Graham Parker
Intro: /Bm /D /A /A /3x lead gtr riff; D C# D E, D C# A E 3x
D G
Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking.
D A
The Tokyo taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt.
G A Bm G
There's nothing to hold on to, when gravity betrays you,
A D Bm
And ev'ry kiss enslaves you.....
D G
She knows how hard her heart grows, under the nuclear shadows,
D A
She can't escape the feeling, repealing in her head.
G A Bm G
When after all the urges, some kind of truth emerges,
A Bm A G D A G D A
We felt the deadly surges, Discovering Japan, Discovering Japan.
(B F# G F#, B F# G F#, B B)
D G
The G.I.'s only use her, they always ram right through her,
D A
Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep.
G A Bm G
See-ing the million miles, between their jokes and smiles,
A D Bm
She heard their hard denials.......
Bm A
As the tears drop sideways down her face, face,
Bm A
I wake up taling in the tongue of a diff'rent race, race,
Bm G
And as the flight touches down, my watch says Eight-O-Two,
A Bm A Bm
But that's me at night to you, me at night to you,
A Bm D A G A
Me at night to you.......................
D G
I dream in long collisions, in jet-lagged pana-visions,
D A
I shouted "Sayonara", It didn't mean good-bye.
G A Bm G
But lovers turn to poses, show up in filmed exposures,
A Bm A G D A G D A
Just like in travel brochures, Discovering Japan, Discovering Japan,
G D A G D A
Discovering Japan, Discovering Japan,
G D A G D A
Discovering Japan, Discovering Japan.
(B F# G F#, B F# G F# B B)
