Act I Scene 1: Your Flight Was Smooth, I Hope (Chou, Nixon)

guitar chords lyrics

John Adams

CHOU
Your flight was smooth, I hope?
NIXON

Oh yes,
smoother than usual I guess.
Yes, it was very pleasant.
We stopped in Hawaii for a day
and Guam, to catch up on the time.
It’s easier that way.
The Prime Minister knows about that.
He is such a traveller.
CHOU
No, not I but as a traveller come home
for good to China, one for whom
all travel is a penance now.

No, not I but as a traveller come home
for good to China, one for whom
all travel is a penance now.
I am most proud to welcome you.
