When I'm down,           really yin

Aisumasen,   aisumasen Yoko
A            B       E         G#  A
All I had to do was call your name
A            C#m     D A       G    B
All I had to do was call your name

And when I hurt you and cause you pain
Darlin' I promise I won't do it again
Aisumasen, aisumasen Yoko
It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain

And when I'm down real sanpaku
And I don't know what to do
Aisumasen, aisumasen Yoko san
All I had to do was call your name
Yes, all I had to do was call your name
