[Verse]

Am               Cmaj7       Fmaj7         Dm7

    The surf was easy on the day I came to stay

G6                         Cmaj7

On this quiet island in the bay

  G6     A7+5            Dm9

I remember    a line of women all in white

    E7               Cmaj7          Fmaj7  E7#9

The laughter and the steel bands at night

[Verse]

Am               Cmaj7       Fmaj7            Dm7

       All the Americans are gone except for two

G6                         Cmaj7

The embassy's been hard to reach

  G6                  A7+5

There's been talk and lately

         Dm9

a bit of action after dark

   Em7      A7     Dm7  Dm9    C

Be hind the big ca sino on the beach

[Bridge]

Fmaj7                Cmaj7

       The rules are changed

Fmaj7               Cmaj7

       It's not the same

B7               Em7     A7+5

    It's all new players in a

Dm7   Cmaj7/G Fmaj7  E7

whole new     ball   game

[Verse]

Am                  Cmaj7

       Last night I dreamed of

       Fmaj7            Dm7

an old lover dressed in gray

G6                            Cmaj7

I've had this fever now since yesterday

  G6     A7+5           A7

Wake up darling they're knocking

A9            Dm              Fm

the Colonel's standing in the sun

         Em7    A7       Dm9     G7      C

With his stupid face the glasses and the gun

[Refrain]

F6                Faug

      I know what happens

Bb6            Faug

    I read the book

Dm9         Db7#9               C9

I believe I just got the goodbye look

A7             A7+5                   Gm7 Gdim

 ( I believe I just got the good bye look )

Dm9          Db7#9             C9

 I believe I just got the good bye—ye

             A7+5                 F6  B7#5 Bbmaj7

(I believe I just got the goodbye look )

          A7              Dm9    Dm7

Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen

[Bridge]

Fmaj9                Cmaj7

       The rules are changed

Fmaj9               Cmaj7

       It's not the same

B7               Em7     A7+5

    It's all new players in a

Dm7   Cmaj7/G Fmaj7  E7

whole new     ball   game

[Verse]

Am       Cmaj7         Fmaj7            Dm7

I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire

G6                            Cmaj7

    A skinny man with two-one shoes

  G6                   A7+5

Cause tonight they're arranging a

      A7                 Dm7

small reception just for me

   Em7      A7  Dm9    G7     C6

Be hind the big casino by the sea

[Outro]

F6                Faug

      I know what happens

Bb6            Faug

    I read the book

Dm9         Db7#9               C9

I believe I just got the goodbye look

A7             A7+5                   Gm7 Gdim

 ( I believe I just got the good bye look )

Dm9          Db7#9             C9

 I believe I just got the good bye—ye

             A7+5                 F6  B7+5 Bbmaj7
