Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - DISCOVERING JAPAN

[intro] Bm  D  A (3 times)

 

 D                                          Bm

Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking

 D                                          A

The Tokyo's taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt

 G                   A            Bm        G

And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you

 A                          D  Bm

And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo

 

 D                                            Bm

She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows

 D                                      A

She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head

 G          A            Bm             G

When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges

A                         

We felt the deadly surges 

 

   Bm   A       G  D   A

Discovering Japan--an --an

   Bm   A       G  D   A   G  D Bm Bm

Discovering Japan--an --an

 

 D                                          Bm

The GIs only use her, they only ram right through her

 D                                          A

Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep

 G                  A                   Bm        G

Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles

 A                     D

She heard their hard denials [don't pause]

 

 Bm                                     A

As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face

 Bm                                             A

I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race

           Bm                                   G

And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02

            F#m             Bm D A  

But that's midnight to you, 

              Bm D A                Bm D A / G A

Midnight to you       Midight to you

 

 D                                          Bm

I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions

 D                            A

I shouted sayonara it didn't mean goodbye

 G          A               Bm        G

But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures

A

Just like in travel brochures

   Bm   A       G  D  A    Bm      A     G  D  A

Discovering Japan         Discovering Japan
