GMy transistor radio comes from far Amaway
And when it's D7night over here over there it's a breaking daGy
I remember all the good times I had walking in the Amsand
With a bD7eautiful girl that I met made in JaGpan
The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest Amdreams
Like chD7erry blossoms blooming in the mountains in the early spGring
As we walked by the river and she softly took hold of my Amhand
That's when I fD7ell deep in love with a girl made in JGapan
Short Turnaround                                            
IAn the dark of night we would lay on Tokyo bBmay
And the siE7nging of the birds woke us up at the break of daAy
Her smiling eyes always seemed to try to underBmstand
All the E7love in my heart for the girl made in JaApan
My transistor radio comes from far Bmaway
And when it's E7night over here over there it's a breaking dAay
She cried when she said she'd been promised to another Bmman
That's when I E7left my heart with the girl made in JaApan
Yes my hBmeart will always be with the E7girl made in JaApan

G Am

My transistor radio comes from far away

D7 G

And when it's night over here over there it's a breaking day

I remember all the good times I had walking in the sand

D7 G

With a beautiful girl that I met made in Japan

The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest dreams

D7 G

Like cherry blossoms blooming in the mountains in the early spring

As we walked by the river and she softly took hold of my hand

D7 G

That's when I fell deep in love with a girl made in Japan

Short Turnaround

A Bm

In the dark of night we would lay on Tokyo bay

E7 A

And the singing of the birds woke us up at the break of day

Her smiling eyes always seemed to try to understand

E7 A

All the love in my heart for the girl made in Japan

My transistor radio comes from far away

E7 A

And when it's night over here over there it's a breaking day

She cried when she said she'd been promised to another man

E7 A

That's when I left my heart with the girl made in Japan

Bm E7 A

Yes my heart will always be with the girl made in Japan
