[Verse 1]
C7 C7 C7 F7
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
[Instrumental]

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
