[B]When I got back home I found a [F#]message on the door
[B]Sweet Regina's gone to China [F#]cross-legged on the floor
[C#]Of a burning [B]jet that's smoothly [F#]flying:
[C#]Burning airlines [B]give you so much [F#]more.

[B]How does she intend to live when [F#]she's in far Cathay?
[B]I somehow can't imagine her just [F#]planting rice all day.
[C#]Maybe she will [B]do a bit of [F#]spying
[C#]With micro-cameras [B]hidden in her [F#]hair.

Riff x4

[B]I guess Regina's on the plane, a [F#]Newsweek on her knees
[B]While miles below her the curlews call from [F#]strangely stunted trees.
[C#]The painted sage sits [B]just as though he's [F#]flying;
[C#]Regina's jet [B]disturbs his wispy [F#]beard.

[B]When you reach Kyoto send a [F#]postcard if you can,
[B]And please convey my fond regards to [F#]Chih-Hao's girl Yu-Lan.
[C#]I heard a rumor [B]they were getting [F#]married
[C#]But someone left [B]the papers in [F#]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...
