Sukiyaki:Kyo Sakimoto. #1 in USA and Canada on CAPITOL Records in 1963. It Bumped Lesly Gore's 'It's My Party,' out of top spot. Also made #18 on R&B Charts. (***Yeah, I know it's different from what's on the lyrics sites. But this is from the first 1963 recording.. and in my opinion, is still the best translation. This is the original key from Sakimoto's version. The English translation of the original title is "I Shall Look Up While Walking."***) #1.
GI'll hold my Emhead up high..Glooking Emto the sky, Gso they won't Bmsee all the Emtears that are Amin my D7eyes. GNo one will Amknow, CI'm going B7through, Emmy Cfirst Bmlonely Amnight withGout you.C Bm Am
#2.
GI know the Emnight will hide, Gsadness I Emfeel inside, Gno one will Bmknow of the Emsmile, and my Amlips won't D7tell them. GI'm losing Amyou, Cand going B7through, Emmy first Bmlonely Amnight withGout you.C G G7
CHORUS:
As CI walk alone, the lonely Gwinds seem to G7say, Cmfrom this darkness on, all your Gnights will Abe this DwayD7.
#3.
GSo, I'll go Emon alone, Gpretending Emyou're not gone. GBut I can Bmhide all the Emmoments of Amlove we D7knew. GMemories of Amyou, Cas I go B7through, Emmy Cfirst Bmlonely Amnight withGout you.C G
CHORUS:
As CI walk alone, the lonely Gwinds seem to G7say, Cmfrom this darkness on, all your Gnights will Abe this DwayD7.

GSo, I'll go Emon alone, Gpretending Emyou're not gone. GBut I can Bmhide all the Emmoments of Amlove we D7knew. GMemories of Amyou, Cas I go B7through, Emmy Cfirst Bmlonely Amnight withGout you.C G
