Verse: 1
    C7C7            C7C7   C7C7          F7F7
When he walks from the consul at sunset, barely remembers his name
G7G7        G7G7    C7C7   C7C7
Walk is a little unsteady, sadly
    C7C7             C7C7    Eb MajorEb      F7F7  F7F7
But he knows most of all that he's living beneath the volcano
G7G7          C7C7
Won't be so many more days
Bb majorBb     FF       AbAb    G+G     C7C7     C7C7
Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness, my friend

Verse: 2
     C7C7          C7C7    C7C7          F7F7
He's been going too far in his drinking, running a little too fat
G7G7         G7G7   C7C7   C7C7
Eyelids becoming so heavy, sadly
    C7C7              C7C7    Eb MajorEb      F7F7  F7F7
But he tries not to sleep while he's living beneath the volcano
G7G7          C7C7
Won't be so many more days
Bb majorBb     FF       AbAb    G+G     C7C7     C7C7 C7C7 C7C7
Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness, my friend

Verse: 3
      C7C7           C7C7         C7C7     F7F7
Though the fireflies laugh in the dusklight, it's the Festival of Death
G7G7             G7G7   C7C7   C7C7
Crowd is all laughter, it's hollow, sadly
     C7C7              C7C7      Eb MajorEb      F7F7  F7F7
They may kill death tonight, but they still live beneath the volcano
G7G7          C7C7
Won't be so many more days
G7G7          C7C7
Won't be so many more days
G7G7          C7C7
Won't be so many more days
Bb majorBb     FF       AbAb    G+G     C7C7     C7C7
Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness, my friend
