One Night In Bangkok Cifras

[Verse 1]
C/D         Dm
   Bangkok, Oriental setting
        C/D                      Dm
And the city don't know that the city is getting
    C/D                      Dm
The crème de la crème of the chess world in a
C/D                      Dm          Gm7
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
 
Dm7
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
          C/D          Dm
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
C/D                 Dm
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 -- or Hastings -- or --
   C#dim
or this place!
 
[Chorus 1]
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 2]
Dm
 One town's very like another
 
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
Dm
(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
Whaddya mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --
Dm
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
 
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Dm
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
 
Whose every move's among the purest
Gm7                                               Gm7 C#dim
     I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
 
[Chorus 2]
 
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

C/D    Dm                                  |
Siam's gonna be the witness                | (Dm) only played on 2nd rotation 
       C/D              Dm                 |
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness   |  ||:(Dm) C/D Dm |C/D Dm |
C/D               Dm                       |   | C/D Dm |C/D Dm |
    This grips me more than would a        |   | Gm7 | :|| Gm7 A7b9|
C/D                  Dm                    | Synths plays this for the 3rd verse
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
Gm7
   And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --
Dm7
   I don't see you guys rating
    C/D          Dm
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
    C/D              Dm
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
        C/D                 Dm             Gm7
But the queens we use would not excite you
                                                          Gm7
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
         C#dim
parlours
 
[Chorus 3]
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   Dm
A little flesh, a little histo-ry
              Gm            C
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
 
[Chorus 4]
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  Dm9
I can feel the devil walking next to me
