Intro G x 4... then
G
The air was more than human
G
And the heat was more than hungry
G Em7
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
G
The boars were running wild
G
Because they're big and mean and sacred
G Em7
And the children playing cricket with no shoes
Bm
That morning we woke up man
Bm
To a seven-hour drive
C
Well there we were stuck in Port Blair
C C7
Where boats break and children stare
G D
And there were so many fewer questions
Em Bm C Cdim9 Am
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
G D
Man and there were so many fewer questions
Em Bm C Cdim9 Am
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm…
.....and you can figure out the rest; it’s the same as above.
Just listen for the rhythm and play along.
