[Verse 1]
Dm
Bangkok, Oriental setting
C/D Dm
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
C/D Dm Gm7
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Dm
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
C/D Dm
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
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 --
A7b9
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
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 Dm
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
Gm7 A7b9
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
[Solo]
A7 for 8 bars

Dm
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
Gm7
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
