Bali Eyes by Porno for Pyros
Bali Eyes
This song has very light but soothing guitar. The solo imparticularly is
simple but leaves plently of room to improvise. Well, here it is as I've
been playing it. . .
Peter DiStefano plays this song capoed at the third fret. This
transcription is written as if the notes at the third fret are opened.
For example, a G on the third fret of the high E-string will be tabbed
as "0" and a G# as "1", etc. . .

Verse:
The verse of this song is a slight variant off of the main riff. It
follows the vocal line pretty tightly. I usually play a normal G as in
the main riff strumming down lightly and I then follow the vocal line as
Perry sings from G to Gb to G, again as the guitar does in the main riff.
Chorus:
A#
Their Eyes are God
G C
In a glass full of jelly
G A#
Bali in my eyes.

The A# at the end of the solo is the first chord in the chorus. As I said
earlier, the guitar is simple and somewhat subdued in the background of the
song. But it is quite melodic and leaves a lot opened to individual
interpretation.
Ate a mushroom turned into Bali
Didn't look it just jumped down my throat
I was starting to die until I
Took a trip to Bali
Their eyes are God
In a glass full of jelly
It's Bali in my eyes
My skin turned the color of the earth
I felt like a tree
People asked my name the next day
They remembered who I was
I took off my shoes
And my feet they took root
I've got Bali in my eyes
Their eyes are God
In a glass full of jelly
It's Bali in my eyes
When I opened up my eyes first thing
Early light in Bali
What a day it's gonna be I think
It looks good already
So hold me close before
All the doors start knocking!
Is Bali in my eyes
