Intro: G 
VERSE 1: 
G 
The air was more than human and 
G 
the heat was more than hungry and 
G                                           Em 
the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes 
G 
the bulls were running wild 
G 
because they're big and mean and sacred and 
G                                           Em 
the children were playing cricket with no shoes 
 

A 
the next morning we woke up, man 
A 
with a seven hour drive 
C 
well there we were stuck in Port Blaire 
C                                 C7 
where boats break and children stare 
 
Chorus: 
G                   D 
there were so many fewer questions 
      Em                A                 C        Am 
when stars were still just the holes to heaven 
Am    G                  D 
and there were so many fewer questions 
      Em                A                 C       Am 
when stars were still just the holes to heaven 
 
VERSE 2: 
G 
disembarking from the port 
G 
with no mistakes of any sort 
G                                  Em 
moving south the engine running smooth 
G 
officials were quite friendly 
G 
once we drowned them with our sweet talk 
G                                        Em 
we bribed them with our cigarettes and booze 
 

A 
the next morning we woke up man 
A 
with the sunrise to the right 
C 
moving back north to Port Blaire 
C                                 C7 
where boats break and children stare 
 
Chorus: 
G                    D 
there were so many fewer questions 
       Em               A                 C         Am 
when stars were still just the holes to heaven 
          G                  D 
yes and there were so many fewer questions 
       Em               A                  C       Am 
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
