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

          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
