[Verse 1]
G
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
G G7
I see the sailin’ boats across the bay go by
C
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
G
And then I turn my head, for you’re approachin’ me
Am Bm C C/E C/G D
Moonlight on the water, fisherman’s daughter, floatin’ in to my room

[Verse 2]
G
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
G G7
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
C
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
G
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
Am Bm C C/E C/G D
And then you drift away on a summer’s day where the wildflowers bloom

[Verse 3]
G
I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
G G7
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night
C
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
G
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil
Am Bm C C/E C/G D
But you’re gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of per-fume
