Verse 1:
Ab Eb
We were all friends together and now there is just black
Ab Eb
There was a tap on my shoulder from a tiny yellow hand
Ab
I look down and see a very pretty little girl (Pretty little girl)
Bbm Fm
Her eyes were black as coal, her teeth as white as pearl
Ab Bbm
Saw so many smiling faces but her face was sad (But her face was sad)
Fm
When she spoke her lips were trembling, made me feel so bad
Ab Eb
Know why she was crying she knew we could mix the air
Ab Eb
She was there and much in love with the music that we played
Ab Bbm Fm
After all the waiting, after all the years (After all the years)
Ab Bbm Fm C
She looked up at me and I saw Japanese tears (Japanese tears)
Chorus:
F C Dm C
Japanese tears are falling like the summer rain on lotus blossom on the bamboo cane
F C Dm C
In the old tea gardens, ‘neath the lemon trees, there’s nothing I can do to make them cease
F C Dm C
Japanese tears, Japanese tears
F C Dm C
After all the waiting, after all the years
Verse 2:
Ab Eb
Put my arm around her and keep staring at trees
Ab Eb
Couldn’t find the words to say, I couldn’t even speak
Ab Bbm Fm
Guess it broke the band as they were just as touched as I (Just as touched as I)
Ab Bbm Fm C
I felt just like a father when he hears his baby daughter cry (Baby daughter cry)
Chorus:
F C Dm C
Japanese tears are falling like the summer rain on lotus blossom on the bamboo cane
F C Dm C
In the old tea gardens, ‘neath the lemon trees, there’s nothing I can do to make them cease
F C Dm C
Japanese tears, Japanese tears
F C Dm C
After all the waiting, after all the years
F C Dm C
Japanese tears, Japanese tears
F C Dm C
After all the waiting, after all the years

F C Dm C
After all the waiting, after all the years

Japanese tears, Japanese tears
F C Dm C
