D           D6      G6        A6
Long, long ago in a land far away
         D         F#m
A little boy and a girl were so in love
Am                  B
Standing 'neath the moon above

         Em(9)
He said "Me Japanese Boy, I love you, I do love you
Em(9)                                A6    D   D6 D9 D
You Japanese Girl, you love me, please say you do"  [LINK]


D                 D6          G6         A6
They carved their names on an old cherry tree
                  D         F#m
Just like they've done in Japan since time began
Am             B
Then he gently held her hand

          Em(9)
And said "Me Japanese Boy, I love you, I do love you
Em(9)                                 A6    D   D6 D9 D
You Japanese Girl, you love me, please say you do"  [LINK]


     G6
In a blue and white kimono
      G6       C#7   F#
She became his happy bride
          F#m   B        E
From that day until this very moment
Em                           A
  She's been standing by his side


D            D6           G6        A6
Now they are old and from what I am told
                 D            F#m
They're still in love just as much as they once were
Am             B
Every night he kisses her

          Em(9)
And says "Me Japanese Boy, I love you, I do love you"
Em(9)                               A6      D7M   Eb?
That is the way that it should be when love is true
Em(9)                                     [ D ]
That is the way that it should be for me and you
