Somewhere Near Japan(Chords)

	        Intro D  Bm  G  A 

D 
Late last night 
      G 
I got an SOS 
D 
The fairytale girl's 
    G 
In deep distress 
           Bm 
She says, I don't know where I am 
                A 
But it's near Japan 

D              G  
My engine's all burned out 
D              G 
My crew has all bailed out 
             Bm 
I don't know where I am 
                         A 
But it's somewhere near Japan 

And she said 
D 
Rescue me, I'm somewhere 
      Bm 
In the China Sea 
                   G         
I think I'm sinkin' fast 
                        A 
This call is probably my last 
D                           Bm 
I'm throwing out a life line 

And I'm doing it 
               G 
For old time's sake 

Though I know you're gonna 
        A  
Break my heart one more time 

D 
Late last night 
      G 
I got an SOS 
D 
The fairytale girl's 
    G 
In deep distress 
           Bm 
She says, I don't know where I am 
                A 
But it's near Japan 

D              G  
My engine's all burned out 
D              G 
My crew has all bailed out 
             Bm 
I don't know where I am 
                         A 
But it's somewhere near Japan 

And she said 

D 
Thank you dear, I think she sounded 
Bm 
Quite sincere 
                      G 
And when she turned to go 

She said, I crave adventure 
         A 
Don't you know 

( D  G  Bm  G  A ) 

    D 
And now she's trippin' 
       G 
On some Chinese junk 
D 
Her world is spinning 
        G 
And her hope has sunk 
     Bm 
So I close my eyes 
                      A 
And I'm somewhere near Japan 
D 
The spinning stopped 
       G 
And the world stood still 
D 
I broke her fall 
       Bm 
And I always will 
             G 
Strung out in no man's land 
                  A 
Somewhere near Japan 

D        G 
Rescue me 

Final D  Bm  G  A 
        D  G  D  Bm  G  A
