Nagasaki
Django Reinhardt 

(entire song)
            G       G/G#         G/A  D7
      Hot gingerbread and dynamite
                  G          G/G#        G/A         D7
      I drink nothing, folks, but that each night
      G                   G7                    C                      C/C#
      Back in Nagasaki where the fellows chew tobaccky
                    D                    D7      G     D7
      And the women wicky-wacky-woo

      They got a way to entertain
      And hurry, hurry hurricane
      Back in Nagasaki where the fellows chew tobaccky
                    D                    D7      G     D7
      And the women wicky-wacky-woo

                 C             Cm
                   Fujiama, got your mama
                 G                                   G7
                   There your troubles increase
                 C             Cm
                   Semicola and a soda
                      G                     G7               D               D7
                   It hurts to take a milkshake, tense as a beast

      They hug you and kiss each night
      Oh by jingo, it's worth the price
      Back in Nagasaki where the fellows chew tobaccky
                    D                    D7      G
      And the women wicky-wacky-woo
                          *Solo*  (entire song twice through,
                                            end after 2nd bridge)

      They hug and kiss you, babe, each night
      Oh by jingo, it's worth the price
      Back in Nagasaki where the fellows chew tobaccky
                    D                    D7      G
      And the women wicky-wacky-woo...
