Verse 1
the air was more than humid
and the heat was more than hungry
and the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
(walk up b/t verses- pluck low E once and then change from Em to G)
the bulls were running wild
because theyre big and mean and sacred
and the children were playing cricket with no shoes
(walk up b/t verse & chorus- pluck low E once and then change from Em to Bm)
Chorus
the next morning we woke up, man, to a seven hour drive
well there we were stuck in port blaire where boats break and children stare
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmhmm
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmhmm
Gx4
Verse 2
disembarking from the port
with no mistakes of any sort
moving soundly, engine running smooth
officials were quite friendly
once we drown them with our sweet talk
and we bribe them with our cigarettes and booze
Chorus 2
the next morning we woke up man with the sunrise to the right, well,
moving back north to port blaire where boats break and children stare
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmhmm
and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmhmm
ends on G
