[Verse 1]
E
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
E E7
I see the sailin’ boats across the bay go by
A
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
E
And then I turn my head, for you’re approachin’ me
F#m G#m A A/C# A/E B
Moonlight on the water, fisherman’s daughter, floatin’ in to my room

[Verse 2]
E
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
E E7
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
A
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
E
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
F#m G#m A A/C# A/E B
And then you drift away on a summer’s day where the wildflowers bloom

[Verse 3]
E
I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
E E7
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night
A
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
E
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil
F#m G#m A A/C# A/E B
But you’re gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of per-fume
