[Intro]
Ab Gm7
[Verse]
Gm7            Dm7
Hunting in the Sea of Japan
Cm      Dm       Eb      Dm      Cm
Ambrose left the tourist trail behind him
Gm7              Dm7
So bold with his gun in his hand
Cm     Dm         Eb     Dm        A    Gm7   A
Of his fuzz there was no need to remind him
[Prechorus]
Ab              Gm7
Tripping over a Holy Man
Ab                        Gm7
Mind that here you don't choose your friends
Ab                  Gm7
Ambrose asked for a helping hand
Dm7           Gm7        F       Gm7
He heaved his chest, and pointed West
   Cm        Dm7   Ab
To where the river runs
[Verse]
Gm7              Dm7
With Josie back home on his mind
Cm       Dm      Eb          Dm     Cm
Brushing off the fruit flies of the season
Gm7             Dm7
And 'Brosie was surely struck blind
Cm     Dm         Eb     Dm    A  Gm7  A
With a sight that defies human reason:
[Prechorus]
Ab              Gm7
On an island of gleaming rocks
Ab                   Gm7
Jutting up from the blue lagoon
Ab           Gm7
A ceremonial music box
    Dm7     Gm7       F          Gm7
And from it flowed, a bright new mode
     Cm       Dm   Eb
That made our hero swoon
[Chorus]
  Dm7  Cm          Am Gm7 Am Gm7
A finer minor from China
  Dm7  Cm          Ab
A finer minor from China

Gm7                Dm7
The world when the traveler returned
Cm     Dm          Eb     Dm       Cm (c c a f c f f#)
As you know played out its bloody romances
Gm7            Dm7
But Ambrose he knew what he'd learned
Cm       Dm       Eb      Dm       A  Gm7  A
With his prize in hand he took his chances
[Prechorus]
Ab                  Gm7
Soon the sound that delights the ear
Ab                  Gm7
Blended in with the armies' roar
Ab                Gm7
When the warriors strained to hear
     Dm  Gm7        F        Gm7
This new bebop, the shooting stopped
      Cm        Dm     Eb
Their guns were bullet-full
[Chorus]
   Dm7 Cm          Am Gm7 Am Gm7
A finer minor from China
   Dm7 Cm          Ab
A finer minor from China
