Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Ab Gm7

Verse 1:

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

Refrain:

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 2:

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:

Refrain:

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

Bridge:

  Dm7  Cm          Am Gm7 Am Gm7
A finer minor from China

  Dm7  Cm          Ab
A finer minor from China

Verse 3:

Gm7                Dm7
The world when the traveler returned

Cm     Dm          Eb     Dm       Cm
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

Refrain:

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

Outro:

   Dm7 Cm          Am Gm7 Am Gm7
A finer minor from China

   Dm7 Cm          Ab
A finer minor from China
