Verse:
D MajorD
We had our passports out and our kits to fix them up
Dsus2Dsus2
A augmentedA hurricane lamp threw our shadows on the ceiling
D MajorD
I watched them box with one another like punch and judy
Dsus2Dsus2
It was lovely it was awful it was that kind of feeling when you
D MajorD E minor 7Em7 G+G D MajorD
said that it was sure, that there was nothing standing in our way
D MajorD E minor 7Em7 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
and the lie ran off and hid itself in the alleys all across Bombay
D MajorD
I saw you knock the lamp over while reaching for the scissors
DsusDsus
and i wondered how we'd ever get by without it
D MajorD
you fell into my arms, sweet and gentle
DsusDsus
poison in the water, little doubt about it
E minor 7Em7 G+G D MajorD
and you said one of us would be all alone someday
D MajorD E minor 7Em7
and the truth of it echoed inexhaustibly
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
up and down the thoroughfares all across Bombay
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
