National Lampoon - Nirvana Banana

      [Intro]
Dm Am
Time out of mind, when the world was still flat,
Dm Am
The all loving gods blessed the trees with the most sacred of all fruits.
Dm Am
And still hanging in golden cluster above the sea-washed beaches and in steaming jungles,
Dm Am
Quick with the screams of brilliant parakeets, they grow and grow,
Dm Am
Reminding all men that the spirit as well as the body
Dm Am
Requires the nourishment that is the clear light of the totally empty mind.
Dm Am
Om Shanti. Banana Padme Om.

[Verse 1]
Dm                     Am
Searched for elves and rainbows
Dm             Am
Mermaids in my tea
Dm           Am
Beauty in my looking glass
F        Dm7      C
Love and peace in me
Dm                Am
Wandered with the gypsy
Dm             Am
Whined away my youth
Dm          Am
India and Atlantis
F         Dm7     C
Searching for the truth

[Verse 2]
Dm                    Am
Trippping through the tropics
Dm           Am
Fingering my lute
Dm             Am
In the paisley moonlight
F        Bb     C
Hung the mystic fruit
Dm              Am
Now my quest is ended
Dm              Am
No more seasalt tears
Dm            Am
Flowers in my raven hair

Bananas in my ears
