G
The air was more than human and
G
the heat was more than hungry and

the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
G
the bulls were running wild
G
because they're big and mean and sacred and
G D/F# Em
the children were playing cricket with no shoes
Bm
the next morning we woke up, man
Bm
with a seven hour drive
C
well there we were stuck in Port Blaire
C C7
where boats break and children stare
Chorus:
G D
there were so many fewer questions

when stars were still just the holes to heaven

and there were so many fewer questions
Em Bm C Bm Am
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
G Em G Em G Em G Em

moving south the engine running smooth

officials were quite friendly

once we drowned them with our sweet talk
G D/F# Em
we bribed them with our cigarettes and booze
Bm
the next morning we woke up man
Bm
with the sunrise to the right
C
moving back north to Port Blaire
C C7
where boats break and children stare
Chorus:
G D
there were so many fewer questions

when stars were still just the holes to heaven

and there were so many fewer questions

when stars were still just the holes to heaven
