Tonart: D minor
Verse 1
Dm
Bangkok, Oriental setting setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Gm
Dm
Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
Gm
It's Iceland or the Philippines
C#dim7
or Hastings or, or this place

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

And if you're lucky then the god's a she
Verse 2
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
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
Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Dm
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the
Somerset Maugham suite
Get thai'd, you're talking to a tourist
Gm
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
C#dim7

Not much between despair and ecstasy
Dm

One night in Bangkok
F
Dm
and the tough guys tumble
Gm
Can't be too careful with your company
Dm
I can feel the devil walking next to me

Verse 3
Dm
Siam's gonna be the the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
Gm
And thank God I'm only watching
the game, controlling it
Dm
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use
Gm
would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars,
your temples
C#dim7
Your massage parlours

You'll find a god in every golden cloister
