The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On thi s quiet isl and in the ba y
I remember a line of women all in white
The laughter and the steel bands at nigh t
Now the Ameri cans are gone exept for two
The em bassy'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
Aaug Dm Gaug Cm7 DmonF E♭M7 D7
It's all new players in a whole new bal l game
Last night I dreame d of an old lover dressed in gray
I've h ad this fev er 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
Aaug Dm Gaug Cm7 DmonF E♭M7 D7
It's all new players in a whole new bal l game
I know a fell ow with a motor launch for hire
A skin ny 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
Dm7-5 G7 E♭M7 A7 FmonG＃ G7 Cm7 F11
I believe I just got the goodbye loo k
