Big In Japan

Tom: D

D7#9

[Verse 1]
D7#9
I got the style but not the grace
D7#9
I got the clothes but not the face
D7#9
I got the bread but not the butter
D7#9
I got the winda but not the shutter

[Chorus]
D7#9
But I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
D7#9
But heh, I'm big in Japan

[Verse 2]
D7#9
I got the house but not the deed
D7#9
I got the horn but not the reed
D7#9
I got the cards but not the luck
D7#9
I got the wheel but not the truck

[Chorus]
D7#9
But heh I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
D7#9
I'm big in Japan

[Bridge 1]
          G               D7#9
I got the moon, I got the cheese
          G               D7#9
I got the whole damn nation on its knees
          G                D7#9
I got the rooster, I got the crow
          E      A
I got the ebb, I got the flow

[Verse 3]
D7#9
I got the powder but not the gun
D7#9
I got the dog but not the bun
D7#9
I got the clouds but not the sky
D7#9
I got the stripes but not the tie

[Chorus 3]
D7#9
But heh I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
D7#9
I'm big in Japan

Heh ho they love the way I do it
Heh ho there's really nothing to it

[Bridge 2]
          G               D7#9
I got the moon, I got the cheese
          G               D7#9
I got the whole damn nation on its knees
          G                D7#9
I got the rooster, I got the crow
          E      A
I got the ebb, I got the flow

[Verse 4]
D7#9
I got the sizzle but not the steak
D7#9
I got the boat but not the lake
D7#9
I got the sheets but not the bed
D7#9
I got the jam but not the bread

[Chorus 4]
D7#9
But heh, I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
D7#9
I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
D7#9
I'm big in Japan
