The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On this quiet island in the ba y
I remember a line of women all in white
The laughter and the steel bands at nigh t
Now the Americans are gone exept for two
The embassy's been hard to re ach
There's been talk and lately a bit of action after dark
Behind the big casino on the beach
T he rules are changed
I t's not the same
Eaug Am Daug Gm7 AmonC B♭M7 A7
It's all new players in a whole new bal l game
Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
I've had this fever now since y esterday
Wake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun
With his stupid face the glasses and the gun
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye loo k
Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen
T he rules are changed
I t's not the same
Eaug Am Daug Gm7 AmonC B♭M7 A7
It's all new players in a whole new bal l game
I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
A skinny man with two-tone sh oes
Cause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for me
Behind the big casino by the sea
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye look
Am7-5 D7 B♭M7 E7 CmonE♭ D7 Gm7 C11
I believe I just got the goodbye loo k
