The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
C/D Dm Gm7Show with everything but Yul Brynner
DmTime flies -- doesn't seem a minute
C/D DmSince the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you

Dm Gm C Dm I can feel an angel sliding up to me
2nd Verse:
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 A7b9 I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

Dm Bb F C/E DmOne night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Gm C Gm7Not much between despair and ecstasy
Dm Bb F C/E DmOne night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Gm C Gm7 DmCan't be too careful with your company
Gm C DmI can feel the devil walking next to me

Gm7 And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --
Dm I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating I'd let you watch, I would invite you
Gm7But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage A7b9 parlours 3rd Chorus:

Gm C Gm7The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
Dm Bb F C/E DmYou'll find a god in every gol-den cloister
Gm C Gm7 DmA little flesh, a little histo-ry
Gm C I can feel an angel sliding up to me
Dm Bb F C/E Dm One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Gm C Gm7 DmNot much between despair and ecstasy
