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

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

Though the fireflies laugh in the dusklight, it's the Festival of Death
G7                          G7      C7     C7
Crowd is all laughter, it's hollow, sadly
         C7                           C7           Eb           F7    F7
They may kill death tonight, but they still live beneath the 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        G         C7         C7
Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness, my friend
