[Intro]
G  C*  G  C*  G  C*  G->Em  D  G
 
I was watching girls go by on bicycles 
G              G        C     G
in Osaka in the rain
Em  Em   D      G        C*  G
riding with one hand holding umbrellas
G           G        C         G
in Osaka in the rain
Em  Em   D      G        C*   G

and I thought if I took some pictures
C     C          D           G
  and read some Buddhist scripture
Em    Em        D        D
if I took them home even though I was alone
C              G         C            G
you could see me walking
Em               Em
in Osaka in the rain
C/G C    D      G  C*  G  C*  G  C*  G->Em  D  G
  
I was looking up and feeling down
G             G      C       G
in Osaka in the rain
Em  Em   D      G        C*  G
spinning upside down and around
G        G      C         G
in Osaka in the rain
Em  Em   D      G        C*  G

and it's tomorrow where I am
C          C      D       G
seems I've left you behind again
Em         Em         D     D
even if I stop the world will not
C         G        C          G
I would still be walking
Em               Em
in Osaka in the rain
C/G C/G  D      G  C*  G  C*  G  C*  G->Em  D  G
 
[Single strum to Osaka] 
one hundred eighty miles an hour
G                  C       G
in Osaka in the rain
Em  Em   D      G        C*  G
this bullet train's got super powers
     G      G           C     G
in Osaka in the rain
Em  Em   D      G        C*  G

and I've gotten used to rockin' this way
    C           C       D               G
when I gotta go that's when I wanna stay
Em           Em        D                D
I'll come again and bring you then
C         G         C         G
we'll go walking
Em       Em 
in Osaka in the Rain
C/G C/G  D      G  C*  G  C*  G  C*  G->Em  D  G
