When I got back home I found a message on the door
C G
Sweet Regina's gone to China cross-legged on the floor
D C G
Of a burning jet that's smoothly flying:
D C G
Burning airlines give you so much more.
C G
How does she intend to live when she's in far Cathay?
C G
I somehow can't imagine her just planting rice all day.
D C G
Maybe she will do a bit of spying
D C G
With micro-cameras hidden in her hair.
Riff x4
C G
I guess Regina's on the plane, a Newsweek on her knees
C G
While miles below her the curlews call from strangely stunted trees.
D C G
The painted sage sits just as though he's flying;
D C G
Regina's jet disturbs his wispy beard.
C G
When you reach Kyoto send a postcard if you can,
C G
And please convey my fond regards to Chih-Hao's girl Yu-Lan.
D C G
I heard a rumor they were getting married
D C G
But someone left the papers in Japan.
Riff 2x (and over the ending)
G D C G G D C G fade out
Left them in Japan, left them in Japan...
