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

Of his fuzz there was no need to remind him

Tripping over a holy man

Am I to hear you don't choose your friends

Ambrose asked for a helping hand
Dm7 Gm7 F Gm7
He heaved his chest and pointed west

To where the river ends

With Josie back home on his mind

Brushing off the fruitflies of the season

Ambrose he was surely struck blind
Cm Dm Eb Dm A Gm7 A
With a sight that defies human reason
Ab Gm
On an island of gleaming rocks

Jutting up from the blue lagoon

A ceremonial music box
Dm7 Gm7 F Gm7
And from it flew a bright new moon

That made our hero swoon

The world when the traveler returned
Cm Dm Eb Dm Cm
As you know played out its bloody romances

But Ambrose he knew what he'd learned

With his prize in hand, he took his chances
Ab Gm
Soon the sound that delights the ear
Ab Gm
Blended in with the army's roar
Ab Gm
When the warrior strained to hear
Dm7 Gm7 F Gm7
This new bebop, the shooting stopped
Cm Dm7 Eb
Their guns were guarded for

I should talk: I read
"Brushing off the fruitflies of the season
Gm7" as

Gin!"
