| D | G | |
| Have you ever heard a love song, that you didn't under- | stand |
| D | A7 | |
| Where you met her in a | teahouse, on the Island of | Japan |
| D | G | |
| And | have you ever travelled over many thousand | miles |
| D | A7 | D | |
| To see a pretty | Gesiha Girl, dressed in | Oriental | style. |
| CHORUS |
| G | D | A7 | D | |
| They | read it in the | tealeaves and it's | written in the | sand |
| G | D | A7 | |
| I | found love by the | heart full, in a foreign distant | land |
| D | G | |
| Tell the | home folks that I'm happy, with someone that's true, I |
| know |
| D | A7 | D | |
| I love a pretty | Geisha Girl, where the | ocean breezes | blow. |
| I have stood and watched the sun rise, from the waters of the sea |
| And wondered how much beauty, in this whole world can there be |
| My dreams are all worth dreamin' and it makes my life worthwhile |
| To see my pretty Geisha Girl, dressed in Oriental style. |
| CHORUS |
