🎸 Somewhere Near Japan chords by The Beach Boys

from the "Still Cruisin'" album 1989

[D] [Bm] [G] [A]

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

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

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

And I'm doing it
for old time's [G] sake
Though I know you're gonna
break my [A] heart one more time

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

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

And she said,
[D] Thank you dear, I think she sounded
[Bm] quite sincere
And when she turned to [G] go
She said, I crave adventure
Don't you [A] know

[D] [G] [Bm] [G] [A]


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

[D]Rescue me [G]
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [D] [Bm] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [D] [Bm] [G] [A]
