Verse 1
E 
Edim 
E 
This is a
C 
E 
Bangkok,
Am 
oriental setting
and the city don't know
what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
in a show with everything
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
But you'll grinner
Am 
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
since the Tyrolean Spa
had the chess boys in it
All change, don't you know
E 
that when you play at this level
F 
Am 
Dm 
there's no ordinary ven ue?
Am 
Dm 
It's Iceland, or the Philippines,
Am 
Dm 
G#dim 
E 
or Hastings, or,   or this place!
Am 
F 
When I am bankrupt
C 
G 
Am 
and the world's your oyster
Dm 
The bars are temples
E 
Am 
Dm 
but their balls ain't free
Am 
F 
You'll find a god in every
C 
G 
Am 
golden oyster
Dm 
And if you're lucky then
E 
Dm 
the gods are cheap
E 
Dm 
Am 
I can feel an an  gel 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 really such a pity
To be looking at the ball
Not looking at the city
Dm 
Am 
What do you mean?
You've seen one crowded, polluted,
Dm 
New -thinking town
Am 
Don't a man, I'm swarming sweet
Sweet Somerset up
Make the Somerset more sweet
Get tied, you're talking to a tourist
E 
Am 
Dm 
Whose every move's among the purest
Am 
I get my kicks above the waistline
Dm 
G#dim 
E 
One night
Am 
F 
in Bangkok
C 
G 
Am 
makes a hard man humble
Dm 
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Am 
F 
One night in Bangkok
C 
G 
Am 
can the tough guys crumble
Dm 
Can't be too careful
Am 
with your company
Dm 
I   can feel the devil walking
Am 
E 
Am 
E 
next to me
Am 
I am going to be the witness
to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness.
This grips me more
than would a muddy old river
or a reclining Buddha.
Dm 
Am 
But thank God
Dm 
Am 
I'm only watching the game,
Dm 
controlling it
Am 
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
would not excite you
Dm 
Am 
So  you better go back to your bars,
your temples,
Dm 
your massage parlours
G#dim 
Am 
F 
One night in Bangkok
C 
G 
Am 
and the world's your oyster
Dm 
The bars are temples
but their pearls ain't free
Am 
F 
You'll find a God in
C 
G 
Am 
every golden cluster
Dm 
E 
A little special, little history
Am 
Dm 
I can feel an angel
Am 
sliding up to me
F 
One night in Bangkok
C 
G 
makes a hard man fumble
Am 
Dm 
Am 
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Dm 
Am 
F 
One night in Bangkok
C 
G 
Am 
and the tough guys tumble
Dm 
Am 
Can't be too careful with your company
Dm 
I   can feel the devil
Am 
Am 
walking next to me
