[Am] [A]
[Am] [Eb] [A]
[Am] [D] [Em] [F]
[Ab] [Bb] [D] Bangkok, oriental setting of the [C] city, don't [Dm] know what [D] the city is.
The creme de la creme of the chess world in [C] a show [Am] with everything.
But [Gm] you'll win her.
[G]
[Bb] [Dm] Can't rise, doesn't seem a minute, [C] if the [Dm] durelian's ball had the [D] chess board in it.
All changed, don't you know that [C] when you play at [Dm] this level there's no [Gm] ordinary venue?
[Dm] It's [G] Iceland, or the [Dm] Philippines, or Hazy, [Gm] or [Bb] this place.
[Dm] [Bb] One night in Bangkok's been [F] the [C] world's [Dm] first time.
The ball was a triple spurt, the ball's [Bb] ain't free.
[Dm] You'll find [Bb] a god in [Fm] every golden [Dm] person.
And if you're lucky then the gods [Gm] are cheap.
I can feel an angel [D] sliding up to me.
One down's very like another when you're heads down over your pieces, brother.
But to drive the ball, [Bb] you feel it's such a bad feeling [D] looking at the ball, not looking at the [Gm] snake.
What do you mean?
[Dm] [D] You see, one crowd [Gm] at Palooka's [Dm] sinking town.
Don't you understand that's Norman's boy, [D] sweet Norman set up, make a sound like that, I see.
Get tied, you're talking to a tourist who's every move is among the [Gm] purest.
[F] I get my kicks above [C] the white [F] lines, [Gm] sunshine.
[Dbm]
[Dm] One night [Bb] in Bangkok makes [F] the [C] hot [Dm] man humble.
None must be [Gm] queen, be spare and next the sea.
[Dm] One night [Bb] in Bangkok's been [F] the [C] tough [Dm] guy's humble.
Can't be fearful with your [Bb] company.
[Gm] I can feel the devil [Am]
walking next to [Dm] me.
[A]
[Dm]
It's gonna be the witness [C] to the ultimate [Dm] test of cerebral.
This grips me more than what [C] a muddy old river [D] or a reclining [Gm] Buddha.
Thank [Dm] God I'm only watching the game, [Gm] controlling it.
[Dm] I don't see [D] you guys [C] raging the kind of [D] mate I'm contemplating.
[C] I'd let you watch, [Dm] I would invite you, [C] but the queens [D] we use will not [Gm] excite you.
[G] So you better go back to your bars, [F] your temples, [Gm] your [Bb] massage parlors.
[Db]
[Dm] One [Bb] night in Bangkok's [F] been the [C] worst [Dm] of the stand.
The bars, the temples, the temples ain't [Bb] free.
[Dm] You'll [Bb] find a garden [F] every [C] go of [Dm] the hustle.
A little [Gm] fresh, a little histophy.
I can feel an angel sliding up to [Dm] me.
One night [Bb] in Bangkok makes the hot [C] [Dm] man humble.
None [G] must be queen, be spare and [Gm] next the sea.
[Dm] [Bb] One night in Bangkok's been [F] the tough [Dm] guy's humble.
Can't be careful with your [Gm] company.
I can feel the devil walking next [Dm] to me.
