Nick Lowe – Tokyo Bay (Guitar)

E*                                    E
  I'll be a long gone daddy when they find my note

E
But just for the record this is what I wrote

E
I'm relocating to a foreign shore

E
You won't have me to kick around no more

    B
You can't make me stay

B
I'm leaving today

B
It's anchors aweigh

                          E
I'm shipping out to Tokyo Bay

E
There's a solemn little geisha pining for me

E
Under a parasol out on the quay

E
She knows I'm coming from beyond the sea

E
And she's hoping and a-praying most fervently

       B                                       E
That today's the day I come smoking into Tokyo Bay

     A
I'll find a liner, then my plan

A
To work my ticket as some kind of hand

A
Maybe picking up after the cabaret band

                               B              E
Anything to get my toes in the sands of Tokyo Bay

          A
Well in a dim dockside canteen I know

A
With my collar turned up and my cap down low

A
All dressed up like a matelot

                                         B
I got my grip in my hand packed ready to go

          E
I'll be a long gone daddy when they find my note

E
But just for the record this is what I wrote

              B
You, you, you can't make me stay

B
I'm leaving today

B
So glad to say

B
I'm heading up the gangway

                E
Bound for Tokyo Bay

E
Tokyo Bay

E
I'll be a long gone daddy

E
Be a long gone daddy

E
Long, long gone daddy

E
Long gone daddy

E
So long

E                   E E E E
That's all I wrote
