Intro: D – G   D – G 

Verse 1:
D                       G
   We touched down in Tokyo
D                              G
   Gray skies on a late April morn
D                             G
   Across the bay on to those neon city streets
D                        G       D – G 
   And I never felt more alone 	 
D                              G
   Well I gotta a picture of a gal I left back home
D                                  G
   Tucked inside this helmet on my head
D                            G
   And Tommy’s tellin’ me to keep a watchful eye
D                           G
   Still I never felt more alone

Chorus:
A                 G       D
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
A           G               D
   Like a beacon across the sky
Bm                           G
   While the people stop and stare
          D               G
   Sayin’ freedoms on the air
                  A       D     G       D – G 
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo

Verse 2:
D                      G
   I hear bombs in the distance towards the coast
D                                  G
   As I read the letters from back home
D                                     G
   And Jesse writes my brother Danny, he’s lookin’ out for her
D                          G       D – G 
   Still I never felt more alone 	  	 
D                     G
   Well 8 weeks in we pushed the Chinese back
D                                       G
   And Tommy’s goin’ home with just one leg
D                                G
   And Jesse says she sorry, she carrying Danny’s child
D                         G
   Now I never felt more alone

Chorus:
A                 G        D
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
A           G               D
   Like a beacon across the sky
Bm                           G
   While the people stop and stare
          D               G
   Sayin’ freedoms on the air
                  A       D       G          
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo

Verse 3: 
D                          G
   In the dead of night my heart begins to break
D                           G
   Three days later I’ll be gone
D                            G
   And what do I to live for I cannot recall
D                            G
   Standing in the ashes of Tokyo

Chorus:
A                 G         D
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
A          G                D
   Like a beacon across the sky
Bm                           G
   While the people stop and stare
          D               G
   Sayin’ freedoms on the air
                  A         D    G     D – G 
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
Bm                              G
   Oh while the people stop and stare
          D               G
   Sayin’ freedoms on the air
                  A       D
   Here comes the Rose of Tokyo
G                D
