Japanese Hands

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                      
Sitting cool behind your painted 
Eb/G
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                              
Flesh on silk looks different than
      F/G
 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                      
Sitting cool behind your painted 
Eb/G
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                        
       To the distant sound of 
  Bb
drums.
        Bb                      Ab
And the sky explodes.   And the moon
 grows cold.
       Cm                          
As the dragons on the mainland wait
     F
 to heat the sun.


Eb/Bb   F/Bb             Bb     
In her Japanese hands.          
Eb/Bb   F/Bb             Bb
In her Japanese hands.
