A D5 C B5
We were above, you were standing underneath us,
A D5 D/F# G
we were not yet lovers
A D5 C B5
Dragons were smoked, bumble-bees were stinging us,
A D5 D/F# G
I was soon to be crazy
[Chorus]
Bm Aadd4 D/F# G Aadd4 Bm Aadd4 D/F# G Aadd4 Bm
Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die

[Verse 2]
A D5 C B5
We’re wearing nothing, nothing but our shadows,
B5 A D5 D/F# G
shadows falling down on the beach sand
A D5 C B5
Remembering once, out on the beaches
A D5 D/F# G
we wore pineapple grass bracelets
[Chorus]

We are all sitting, legs crossed ‘round a fire my yellow flame, she dances
