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