Intro:
        E E D D   E E F F# G G
        (introduces main riff -- this is all in E)

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.

Chorus:
        E             E     E             E
        My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see.
        E             E     E         E
        My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me.

Verse 2:
        Talk about her like a queen,
        dancing in an eastern dream.
        Oh, she makes me feel like a river
        that carries me away.

Chorus:
        My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see.
        My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me..

Bridge:
        A7                    A7              Gm   Gm Gm Gm
        But I'm at home and I, I just don't belong.

        G       G            G         F    F
        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,
        I get high.

Chorus:
        My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see.
        My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me..

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

Ending:
        (repeat main riff and fade)


Damn!  I just realized that I don't have a record with this song any more
so I couldn't check the chords against the recorded version.  Anyway, this
is what I could recover from my notes from some 15 years ago when I last
tried playing that song.  Hope this helps...
