Verse 1:
        G7           F/G
        Fly into the rising sun,
        G             F/G
        faces smiling ev'ryone.
        G            F/G
        Oh, she is a whole new tradition,
        G               F/G
        I feel it in my heart.

        My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see.

        My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me.

Verse 2:
        Talk about her like a queen,
        dancing in an eastern dream.

        So far away from the garden we love,
        G           G            G         F    F G G G F F
        she is what moves in the soul of a dove.

        G            G            G             F     F
        Soon I shall see just how black was the night,
        G           G           G       F     F G G C C7 C7 C7
        when we're alone in the city of light.

        G D6 G/B C G/D C D6 G G G G

Verse 3:
        Rising from the neon gloom,
        shining like a crazy moon.
        Oh, she turns me on like a fire,
