[Verse 1]
C
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
C C7
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
Dm Em F F/A F/C G
Moonlight on the water, fisherman’s daughter, floatin’ in to my room

C
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
C C7
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
Dm Em 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 C7
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
Dm Em F F/A F/C G
But you’re gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of per-fume
