Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
 
Dm                             Dm6
  Save me from drowning in the sea
Am
  Beat me up on the beach
Dm                  Em7
  What a lovely holiday
          E7                    Asus4        A7sus4
  There's nothing funny left to say
 
Dm                                 Dm6
  This sombre song would drain the sun
Am
  But it won't shine until it's sung
Dm                        E7
  No water running in the stream
                               Asus4   A7
  The saddest place we've ever seen
 
 
[Bridge 1]
Fmaj7                      G7/F
Everything I touched was golden
                           C
Everything I loved got broken
 
On the road to Mandalay
F                         Em
Every mistake I've ever made
                                 Dm
Has been rehashed and then replayed
                        G5
As I got lost along the way
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                 Dm             G
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
             C              Am
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
              F              G
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
       Am
Bum ba dum
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm                                Dm6
  There's nothing left for you to give
Am
  The truth is all that you're left with
Dm                     Em7
  Twenty paces then at dawn
          E7           Asus4        A7sus4
  We will die and be reborn
 
Dm                            Dm6
  I like to sleep beneath the trees
Am
  Have the universe at one with me
Dm                          E7
Look down the barrel of a gun
                             Asus4   A7
And feel the moon replace the sun
 
 
[Bridge 2]
Fmaj7                   G7/F
Everything we've ever stolen
                              C
Has been lost returned or broken
 
No more dragons left to slay
F                         Em
Every mistake I've ever made
                              Dm
Has been rehashed and then replayed
                        G5
As I got lost along the way
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                 Dm             G
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
             C              Am
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
             F              G
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
       Am
Bum ba dum
             Dm             G
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
         C              Am
Ba da da da da dum, bum bum
         F              G
Ba da da da da dum, bum bum
       Am

             Dm             G
Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum

Bum bum bum, ba da dum, bum bum
       Am
Bum ba dum

[Verse 3]
 
Dm                             Dm6
  Save me from drowning in the sea
Am
  Beat me up on the beach
Dm                  Em7
  What a lovely holiday
          E7                    Am
  There's nothing funny left to say
              Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach

What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung

No water running in the stream
The saddest place we've ever seen

Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way

There's nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you're left with
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn

I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun

Everything we've ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way

Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
