Verse:
 
Dm 
  Bangkok, Oriental setting 
        C/D        Dm 
And the city don't know that the city is getting 

The creme de la creme of the chess world in a 
C/D        Dm                          Gm7 
Show with everything but Yul Brynner 

Dm 
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute 
           C/D          Dm 
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it 

All change -- don't you know that when you 
C/D           Dm 
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue 

Gm7                                                        
    It's Iceland -- or the Philippines
        A7 
or this place! 




Dm             Bb              F       C/E  Dm 
  One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster 
             Gm              C                Gm7 
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free 
Dm              Bb           F   C/E Dm 
  You'll find a god in every gol-den cloister 
              Gm             C       Gm7  
And if you're lucky then the god's a she 
Dm              Gm            C     Dm 
  I can feel an angel sliding up to me 


Verse: 

Dm   
 One town's very like another 
            
When your head's down over your pieces, brother 

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity 

To be looking at the board, not looking at the city 
Gm7                                                   Dm 
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town -- 

Tea, girls, warm, sweet 

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite 

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist 

Whose every move's among the purest 
Gm7                                                     A7 
       I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine 


 

Dm           Bb              F    C/E Dm 
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble 
            Gm               C       Gm7 
Not much between despair and ecstasy 
Dm           Bb              F     C/E  Dm 
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble 
             Gm                C       Gm7   Dm 
Can't be too careful with your company 
               Gm            C       Dm 
I can feel the devil walking next to me 



Solo: A7 


3rd Verse: 

Dm                                     
Siam's gonna be the witness              
                                            
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness 
                                 
This grips me more than would a     
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
Gm7 
   And thank God I'm only watching the game
Dm 
  I don't see you guys rating 

The kind of mate I'm contemplating 

I'd let you watch, I would invite you 
                                           Gm7 
But the queens we use would not excite you 

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage 
       A7 
parlours

You'll find a god in every gol-den cloister 
         Gm              C     Gm7   Dm 
A little flesh, a little histo-ry 
              Gm            C      
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
