E          B7  E
(Back home in heartbreak U-S-A)


[Verse 1]
             E                  A
The harbor's empty, my love has gone
            B7                                E
With aching heart I face each cold and lonely dawn
                                   B7      A
And till the trade winds bring him home to stay
             E          B7  E
I'll live in heartbreak U-S-A


[Chorus]
                A                                E
Don't let those Geisha girls get your heart in a whirl
           F#                                       B7
And if you meet some sweet Fraulein remember you're mine
                  E                E7      A
Don't forget your sweetheart while you're away
             E          B7  E
Back home in heartbreak U-S-A


[Instrumental Bridge]
E   B7 E B7


[Verse 2]
              E          B7          A
Sometimes I'm lonely and time stands still
      B7                           E
And I wonder if you feel the way I always will
                            B7    A
So darling write me letters every day
           E          B7  E
In care of heartbreak U-S-A


[Chorus]
                A                                E
Don't let those Geisha girls get your heart in a whirl
           F#                                       B7
And if you meet some sweet Fraulein remember you're mine
                  E                E7      A
Don't forget your sweetheart while you're away
             E          B7  E
Back home in heartbreak U-S-A
