C             G
Cool air falls through the venetian blinds
    Am             F
And the planets in the heavens are perfectly aligned
      C
I take in my surroundings
 G
I memorize them all
  Am
The scuff marks on the stone floor,
  F
The powder burns on the eastern wall

The animal noises you used to make
Am       F
The andalusian coral snake

All hail when standing beside this room
    Am           F
And the heavy hot rains and the sonic boom
