Aiko, geography has got the better of us again
G
I know you wanna go
C D
And I am to be singing
G C D
To the tail of an aeroplane
Em A
So I fold these pieces of gold
D D7
Into animals so I can fashion a chain
Em A D
That will bridge the gap accross these continents
G C D G C D
Aiko, your fatherless smile has been summoned to other shores
G C D
There's a man over there with a gentleman's bow
G C D
Who invites you to take to the floor
Em
Pack your traveling case
A
With your ribbons and lace
D D7
For his blood must be furnished with excellent taste
Em A D
But it might burn a hole into your paper face
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/emmy_the_great/aiko_crd.html ]
Em (1stroke) Em (1stroke)
And so you run towards the things you haven't got
A D
Just to say goodbye again
Em (1stroke) Em (1stroke)
But do you think of me as he unlocks your knees
A D
At the Terrace Garden?
G C D
Pretty pictures in the window blinds
G C D
Looking out looks so good with the winter behind
G C D
Like it is playing a banjo to a Tennessee line
G C D
And the reeds are like cowboys perfectly aligned
Em A
Does the sky over Tokyo know
D
How a river can flow like the stroke
D7
Of a violin bow?
Em A D
Like a hand will run across the milky sky
Em (1 stroke)
But you can take these trees
Em (1 stroke)
And this summer breeze
A D
On this stupid looking day
Em (1 stroke) Em (1 stroke)
And you can send it all to the Japanese
A D
Now my love has gone away.
(Japanese verse) (?)
Em - A - D
Em - A - D
Em A
And if you see Aiko
D D7
Or Sayee
Em
Let her know
A D
That she dances in my dreams.
