Save me from drowning in the sea
Cm
Beat me up on the beach
Fm Gm
What a lovely holiday
G Cm
Thereґs nothing funny left to say
Fm B7
This sombre song would drain the sun
Cm
But it wonґt shine until itґs sung
Fm Gm
No water running in the stream
G Cm C7
The saddest place weґve ever seen
G# Gm
Everything I touched was golden
Cm
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
G# Gm
Every mistake Iґve ever made
Fm
Has been rehashed and then replayed
B7
As I got lost along the way
Chorus:
G# B7
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-da-bum-bum
Eb Cm
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-da-bum-bum
G# B7
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-da-bum-bum
Cm
Bam-da-dam
Thereґs nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that youґre 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 weґve ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake Iґve 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
Thereґs nothing funny left to say.
