Verse 1
Am7 (x02010@1)                D9
When I was a boy of      twenty-two
  Am7 (x02010@1)          D9
I stood before a statue

Was it you?
Am7 (x02010@1)          D9
They shake the fruit when they dance
           Am7 (x02010@1)             D9
You should try some when you have the chance
Am7 (x02010@1)                  D9
Her face had no power      to deceive
    Am7 (x02010@1)           D9
She wore her beauty shamelessly

Like Eve
Am7 (x02010@1)         D9
Guavas can be bittersweet
        Am7 (x02010@1)          D9
But the mango's always good to eat

Verse 2
Am7 (x02010@1)                    D9
I know that my life has      led me here
   Am7 (x02010@1)             D9
To where the dolphin jumps

At the sky's clear
Am7 (x02010@1)               D9
Here we live with - out locked doors
          Am7 (x02010@1)                D9
Share and share alike - what's mine is yours
Am7 (x02010@1)             D9 
I see invitation      in your smile
Am7 (x02010@1)            D9
To celebrate our passions

Without guile
Am7 (x02010@1)      D9
In the noa noa night
     Am7 (x02010@1)         D9
Nave Nave's a fa - miliar sight

Repeat Outro Chorus to fade

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
