Tokyo Uke tab by Bruce Cockburn

# Intro:

F Am Gm F

        F                            Am
They?re getting prepared to haul the car out of the river

          Gm                            F 
Noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever

F                                  Am
Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust

         Gm                             Bb                   
Thinking about the water down below and what got lost

F   Am   Gm   F  
# Like the intro

     F                     Am
The jingle of pachenko and space torpedo games

Gm                      F 
Comic book violence like escaping steam

F                       Am
Gray suited businessman pissing against the wall

       Gm                            Bb                   
cut to crumbling guard rail slow motion car fall

# Chorus
F    Bb     C                      Gm             
Oh Tokyo I never can sleep in your arms

F        Bb        C                   Gm
My mind, keeps on, ringing like a fire alarm

F                Bb          C                      Gm
Me and all these other dice, bouncing around in the cup

        F                    Bb                      C                  Gm
did you have to show me that accident scene didn't I get enough shaking up?


Gm                Bb    Bb7   C     C7    
still I'm going to miss       you

F   Am   Gm   F 
# (Like the intro)

        F                            Am
The dragon of good fortune struggles with the trickster fox

Gm                          F 
energy and patience and the power of the buck

F                                       Am
Tonight I'm flying headlong to meet the dark red edge of dawn

          Gm                           Bb                   
I know somebody will be crying and somebody will be gone

# Repeat Chorus

F  Am  Gm  F
F  Am  Gm  F
