You got to do it quickly.

Verse:

A        D   
We were above
G                 D            A 
You were standing underneath us
        D       G      [Figure 1]
We were not yet lovers
A            D     
Dragons were smoked
G          D               
Bumblebees were stinging us
A    D           G     [Figure 1]
I was soon to be crazy

Bridge:

     D          A     [Figure 2]
Eat drink and be merry
    D        A     [Figure 2]
For tomorrow we die
     D          A     [Figure 2]
Eat drink and be merry
    D        A     [Figure 2]
For tomorrow we die
Cause of tripping Billies

Boyd Solo: Like Verse

Verse II:

We're wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once, out on the beaches
We wore pineapple grass bracelets

Chorus:

So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
Cause of tripping Billies

Bridge:

     D          A      [Figure 2]
Eat drink and be merry
    D        A      [Figure 2]
For tomorrow we die
     D          A      [Figure 2]
Eat drink and be merry
    D        A      [Figure 2]
For tomorrow we die
Cause of tripping Billies

Boyd Solo: Like verse.

Verse III:

We are all sitting
Legs crossed around a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking, oh, our minds will wander
To wondrous places

Chorus:

So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race

Bridge:

Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die

For tomorrow we'll die
