T he surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On thi s quiet isl and in the bay
I remember a l ine of wome n all in white
The la ughter and the steel bands at night
N ow the Ameri cans 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 acti on after dark
Behind the big c asin o on th e beach
The rules are changed
It's not the same
Faug B♭m E♭aug G＃m7 B♭monC＃ BM7 B♭7
It's all new play ers in a who le new ball game
L ast night I dreame d of an old lover dressed in gray
I've h ad this fev er now since yesterday
Wake up darlin g they're knock ing the Colonel's stand ing in the sun
With his stupi d face the glas ses 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 loo k
I believe I just got the go odbye look
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
Won't you po ur me a Cuban breez e Gretchen
The rules are changed
It's not the same
Faug B♭m E♭aug G＃m7 B♭monC＃ BM7 B♭7
It's all new play ers in a who le new ball game
I know a fell ow with a motor launch for hire
A skin ny man with two-tone shoes
Cause tonight they're arrangi ng a small recept ion just for me
Behi nd 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 be lieve I jus t got the goodbye loo k
I believe I just got the go odbye look
B♭m7-5 E♭7 BM7 F7 C＃monE E♭7 G＃m7 C＃11
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
