& strum pattern x4

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 they’re 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
