 [Verse]
A        D5   Csus2             B5                 
We were above you were standing underneath us we 
A       D5     D/F# G
were not  yet lov-ers
A              D5  Csus2           B5
Dragons are smoked bumblebees were stinging us I was
A     D5       D/F# G
soon    to be cra-zy

 [Chorus 1]
G        Bm   A      D/F# G A Bm
Eat drink and be merr-y
A      Bm     A     D/F# G A Bm
For to-morrow we die
G        Bm   A      D/F# G A Bm
Eat drink and be merr-y
A      Bm     A    D/F# G A Bm   
For to-morrow we die            
(Silent)
'Cause we're trippin' billies

 [Verse 2]
A            D5      Csus2         B5
We're wearing nothing, nothing but our shadows, 
A               D5            D/F# G
shadows falling down on the beach sand.
A           D5    Csus2      B5     
Remembering once, out on the beaches 
A       D5                D/F# G
we wore pineapple grass brace-lets.

 [Chorus 2]
G     Bm    A       D/F# G A Bm
So why would you care
A      Bm     A        D/F# G A Bm
To get out of this place
G       Bm    A              D/F# G A Bm
You and me and all our friends
A      Bm     A       D/F# G A Bm   
Such a happy human race

A          D5      Csus2         B5
We are all sitting legs crossed around a fire
A        D5           D/F# G
My yellow flame, she danc-es.
A       D5      Csus2       B5     
Tequila drinkin, oh our minds will
A         D5         D/F# G
wander to wonderous plac-es.
