[Verse 1]
        C7                       
When he walks from the consul at 
C7      C7                   F7
sunset, barely remembers his name
G7               G7        C7     C7
Walk is a little unsteady, sadly
       C7                          
But he knows most of all that he's 
C7       Eb           F7    F7
living beneath the volcano
G7                   C7
Won't be so many more days
Bb         F             Ab      
Isn't much time and it's 
  G         C7         C7
gathering darkness, my friend

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
          C7                  
He's been going too far in his 
 C7        C7                   F7
drinking, running a little too fat
G7                  G7     C7     C7
Eyelids becoming so heavy, sadly
       C7                          
But he tries not to sleep while 
  C7       Eb           F7    F7
he's living beneath the volcano
G7                   C7
Won't be so many more days
Bb         F             Ab      
Isn't much time and it's 
  G         C7         C7  C7  C7
gathering darkness, my friend

[Verse 3]
           C7                     
Though the fireflies laugh in the 
C7                  C7          
dusklight, it's the Festival of 
F7
Death
G7                          G7   
Crowd is all laughter, it's 
   C7     C7
hollow, sadly
         C7                     
They may kill death tonight, but 
      C7           Eb           
they still live beneath the 
F7    F7
volcano
G7                   C7
Won't be so many more days
G7                   C7
Won't be so many more days
G7                   C7
Won't be so many more days
Bb         F             Ab      
Isn't much time and it's 
  G         C7         C7
gathering darkness, my friend
