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 wome n 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 acti on after dark
Behind the big c asin o on the beach
The rules are changed
It's not the same
E♭aug G＃m C＃aug F＃m7 G＃monB AM7 G＃7
It' s all new play ers in a who le 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 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 g ot 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
E♭aug G＃m C＃aug F＃m7 G＃monB AM7 G＃7
It' s all new play ers in a who le 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 recept ion just for me
Behi nd the big casin o 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 loo k
I believe I just g ot the go odbye look
G＃m7-5 C＃7 AM7 E♭7 BmonD C＃7 F＃m7 B11
I be lieve I jus t got the goodbye look
