 mute & strum pattern x2
 & strum pattern x4
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)
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
 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
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
