[Verse 1]
C#
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
C# C#7
I see the sailin’ boats across the bay go by
F#
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
C#
And then I turn my head, for you’re approachin’ me
D#m Fm F# F#/A# F#/C# G#
Moonlight on the water, fisherman’s daughter, floatin’ in to my room

[Verse 2]
C#
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
C# C#7
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
F#
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
C#
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
D#m Fm F# F#/A# F#/C# G#
And then you drift away on a summer’s day where the wildflowers bloom

[Verse 3]
C#
I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
C# C#7
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night
F#
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
C#
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil
D#m Fm F# F#/A# F#/C# G#
But you’re gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of per-fume
