Barkeep another Mekong please. Yes of course you can keep the change.
Am                          G              C
New glass here for this new friend of mine. Forgive me I forgot your
F     Am                        G           C
name. Flip a coin what shall we talk about? Heads I tell the truth and
       F                 Am                  G              C
tails I lie. Well I came all the way from Taipei today. Now Bangkok's

pourin' rain as I'm goin' blind again and I haven't seen my girl for

fifteen thousand miles.
 
[Chorus]
F                           C          G
Well is it true it's always happy hour here?
F                        G
And if it is I'd like to stay a while.
Am         G             F                 G             Am
Well as cliche as it may sound I'd like to raise another round.
            G              F
And if your bottle's empty help yourself to mine.
G
Thank you for your time.  And here's to life...

   F                   Am                          G
my new best friend. So deal me in and I'll pick my cards up off the
                     C                              F     Am

                   G                                   C
girl at the door, another four-dollar whore. But don't look her in the
                      F               Am                  G
eyes she'll break your heart. We came all the way from Taipei today.
      C                                F
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're goin' blind again and I haven't
Am               G
seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles.
