[Intro]
Eb Bb Ab Bb X2
[Verse]
Eb/G Outside I can hear the fireworks F/G beyond the paper walls. Eb/G Where the symbols painted black and white F/G Dm run together when the rain falls. Eb/G And the wind chimes across Kyoto each F/G time the earth moves. Eb/G Was it the quake that shook me or was it F/G Dm something to do with you?
[Chorus]
Eb F And the hot wind heats the bamboo blinds. Eb F And your almond eyes always shine. Bb Eb/G Sitting cool behind your painted fan. Db All the secrets of the east conceal the Eb beauty and the beast. Bb Eb For tender is the man F Bb in her Japanese hands.
[Verse]
Eb/G F/G Flesh on silk looks different than on a F/G cotton sheet back home. Eb/G Where no one wears their hair like yours F/G Dm beneath those oriental combs. Eb/G And with your thirsty fingers running F/G up and down my spine, Eb/G You forget the western woman when you're F/G Dm sleeping on Kyoto time.
[Chorus]
Eb F And the hot wind heats the bamboo blinds. Eb F And your almond eyes always shine. Bb Eb/G Sitting cool behind your painted fan. Db All the secrets of the east conceal the Eb beauty and the beast. Bb Eb For tender is the man F Bb in her Japanese hands. Bb And the sky explodes. And the moon grows cold. Eb/Bb Bb To the distant sound of drums. Bb Ab And the sky explodes. And the moon grows cold. Cm F As the dragons on the mainland wait to heat the sun. Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb In her Japanese hands. In her Japanese hands.
