One Night In Bangkok accords

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!

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

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

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                 
       C/D              Dm                     
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness     
C/D               Dm                          
    This grips me more than would a         
C/D                  Dm                     
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

I can feel an angel sliding up to me
