[F] [C] [Am] [G]
[Am] Barkeep, [G] another Mekong please,
[C] Guess a plot you can [F] keep the chain.
[Am] New glass here for [G] this new friend of mine,
[C] Forgive me I forgot [F] your name.
[Am] Flipper coin, what [G] shall we talk about?
[C] If I tell the truth, the [F] tales I lie.
I [Am] came all the way [G] from Chi-Pei today,
[C] Now thank God it's pouring [Dm] rain,
I'm [F] going blind again and I [Am] haven't seen my girl,
[G] For fifteen thousand miles.
[F] But is it true it's [C] always happy [G] out here?
[F] If it is, I'd [G] like to stay a while.
[Am] Well as [G] cliche as it may [F] sound,
[G] I'd like to raise another [Am] round,
[G] And if your bottle's [F] empty, help yourself to mine.
[G] Thank you for your time and here's [Am] to life.

[Am] Barkeep, [G] we need to go around again,
[C] One for me and what's his [F] name, my new best friend?
[Am] Steal me in and I'll [G] pick my cards up off the floor,
I'll see a [C] lucky coin and raise a [F] pack of lies.
[Am] I'll chew the girl in the [G] door, another four dollar hoard,
[C] I told the girl in the eyes to [F] break the heart.
We [Am] came all the way from [G] Taipei today,
[C] Still thank God it's been raining,
And [F] we're going blind again and I [Am] haven't seen my girl,
[G] For fifteen thousand miles.
[F] But is it [C] true it's always happy [G] out here?
[F] If it is, I'd [G] like to stay a while.
[A] Well as [G] cliche as it may [F] sound,
[G] I'd like to raise another [Am] round,
[G] And if your bottle's empty, [F] help yourself to [G] mine.
Thank you for your time [Am] and here's to life.
