[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G
We touched down in Tokyo
D G
Gray skies on a late April morn
D G
Across the bay on to those neon city streets
D G D ? G
And I never felt more alone
D G
Well I gotta a picture of a gal I left back home
D G
Tucked inside this helmet on my head
D G
And Tommy?s tellin? me to keep a watchful eye
D G
Still I never felt more alone
[Chorus]
A G D
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
A G D
Like a beacon across the sky
Bm G
While the people stop and stare
D G
Sayin? freedoms on the air
A D G D ? G
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
[Verse 2]
D G
I hear bombs in the distance towards the coast
D G
As I read the letters from back home
D G
And Jesse writes my brother Danny, he?s lookin? out for her
D G D ? G
Still I never felt more alone
D G
Well 8 weeks in we pushed the Chinese back
D G
And Tommy?s goin? home with just one leg
D G
And Jesse says she sorry, she carrying Danny?s child
D G
Now I never felt more alone
[Chorus]
A G D
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
A G D
Like a beacon across the sky
Bm G
While the people stop and stare
D G
Sayin? freedoms on the air
A D G
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
[Instrumental]
D G D G D G
[Verse 3]
D G
In the dead of night my heart begins to break
D G
Three days later I?ll be gone
D G
And what do I to live for I cannot recall
D G
Standing in the ashes of Tokyo
[Chorus]
A G D
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
A G D
Like a beacon across the sky
Bm G
While the people stop and stare
D G
Sayin? freedoms on the air
A D G D ? G
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
Bm G
Oh while the people stop and stare
D G
Sayin? freedoms on the air
A D
Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
G D
The Rose of Tokyo
G D
Ah the Rose of Tokyo???.
G D
Ah ah eh ah???.
G D
Ah the Rose of Tokyo???
G D
Ah ah eh ah ah
G D
The Rose of Tokyo
