Key: D minor
Verse 1
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
C#dim7
or Hastings or, or this place
Chorus 1

One night in Bangkok

and the world's your oyster
Gm
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

Dm
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
Verse 2
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
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
Some are set up in the
Somerset Maugham suite
Get thai'd, you're talking to a tourist
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
C#dim7

and the tough guys tumble

Verse 3
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
the game, controlling it
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use
So you better go back to your bars,
your temples
Chorus 3
