T he surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On thi s quiet island in the bay
I remember a l ine of women all in white
The la ughter and the steel bands at night
N ow the Americans are gone e xept for two
The em bassy's been hard to reach
There's been talk a nd latel y a bit of action after dark
Behind the big c asino on the beach
The rules are changed
It's not the same
G＃aug C＃m F＃aug Bm7 C＃monE DM7 C＃7
It' s all new play ers in a whole new ball game
L ast night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
I've h ad this fever now since yesterday
Wake up darlin g they're knock ing the Colonel's standing in the sun
With his stupi d face the glasses and the gun
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
I believe I just g ot the go odbye look
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
Won't you po ur me a Cuban breeze Gretchen
The rules are changed
It's not the same
G＃aug C＃m F＃aug Bm7 C＃monE DM7 C＃7
It' s all new play ers in a whole new ball game
I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
A skin ny man with two-tone shoes
Cause tonight they're arrangi ng a small reception just for me
Behi nd the big casino by the sea
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
I believe I just g ot the go odbye look
C＃m7-5 F＃7 DM7 G＃7 EmonG F＃7 Bm7 E11
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
