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 wome n 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 acti on after dark
Behind the big casin o on th e beach
T he rules are changed
I t's not the same
Gaug Cm Faug B♭m7 CmonE♭ C#M7 C7
It's all new players in a who le 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 stand ing in the sun
With his stupid face the glas ses 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 loo k
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye loo k
Won't you pour me a Cuban breez e Gretchen
T he rules are changed
I t's not the same
Gaug Cm Faug B♭m7 CmonE♭ C#M7 C7
It's all new players in a who le 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 recept ion just for me
Behind the big casin o by th e sea
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just got the goodbye loo k
I believe I just got the goodbye look
