[Verse 1]
A
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
A A7
I see the sailin’ boats across the bay go by
D
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
A
And then I turn my head, for you’re approachin’ me
Bm C#m D D/F# D/A E
Moonlight on the water, fisherman’s daughter, floatin’ in to my room

With a golden loom (break)
[Verse 2]
A
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
A A7
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
D
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
A
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
Bm C#m D D/F# D/A E
And then you drift away on a summer’s day where the wildflowers bloom

[Verse 3]
A
I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
A A7
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night
D
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
A
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil
Bm C#m D D/F# D/A E
But you’re gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of per-fume
