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