[Am] [A]
[Am] [Eb] [A]
[Dm] [Em] [F] [Ab] [Bb]
[Bbm] [D] Bangkok, oriental [C] setting, and the city don't [Dm] know what the [D] city is getting.
The creme de la creme of the chess world [C] in a show with [Dm] everything.
The [Gm] tuileries.
[Bm] [Gm]
[Dm] Non-fries, doesn't seem a [C] minute since the tirilion [Dm] store had the chess bars in it.
[Am] All change, [D] don't you know that [C] when you play at this [Dm] level there's no ordinary [Gm] menu?
[Dm] It's [G] Iceland, or the [F] Philippines, or [Gm] Hastings, or
[Bb] Or this [Dm] place.
One [Bb] night in Bangkok [F] and the [C] [Dm] world's got the sun.
The bars are [A] simple, but their balls [Bb] ain't [Dm] free.
You'll [Bb] find a god in every golden [Dm] oyster.
And if you're lucky then they've got [Gm] sushi.
I can feel an angel [D] sliding up to me.
One town's fairy like another when your head's down over your pieces, brother.
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's been a such a pain.
You've been looking at the board, not looking at [Gm] the city.
What do you mean?
You've seen one crowded, polluted, [D] stinking town.
Overhanging a small, small, small street.
Somerset [A] up, make the somerset [D] up.
Get tired, you're talking to a tourist who's every move's among the [Gm] purest.
[F] I get my kids [A] above the [F] weight lines, sunshine.
[Gm] [Dbm] [Dm]
[Bb] One night in Bangkok makes [F] a hot [Dm] man humble.
Not much [Gm] between despair and ecstasy.
[Dm]
[Bb] One night in Bangkok and [F] the tough guys [Dm] tumble.
Can't be too careful [Gm] with your company.
I can feel the devil [Fm] walking [D] next to me.
[A]
[D] I [Dm] was going to be the witness to [C] the ultimate [Dm] test of cerebral [D] phagies.
This grips me more than would a [C] muddy old [D] river or a reclining [Gm] Buddha.
Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it.
[Dm] I don't see you guys rating [C] the kind [D] of mate I'm contemplating.
I bet [C] you watch.
[Dm] I would invite you, [C] but the queens [Dm] we [Gm] use will not excite you.
[F] [G] So you better go back to your [F] bars, your temples, [Gm] your massage [Bb] parlors.
[Dm] One night [Bb] in Bangkok and [F] the [C] wild [Dm] starfish stuns.
The bars are [E] temples, but their palms [Gm] ain't free.
[Dm] You'll find [Bb] a garden that [F] may go [C] under.
[Dm] But it's not a [Gm] little special little story.
I can feel an angel [Dm] sliding up to me.
One [Bb] night in Bangkok makes [F] a [C] hot [Dm] man humble.
Not [G] much between despair [A] and [E] ecstasy.
[Dm] One [Bb] night in Bangkok and [F] the tough [Dm] guy stumbles.
Can't be [G] too careful with your company.
[Gm] I can feel the devil walking next [Dm] to me.
