Intro
[Dm7] [C] [Dm7]
[Gm7] [Am7] [Dm7]
[Dm7]You've got your [C]ticket and your [Bb]hotel keys
And your [Gm7]overnight [Am7]bag at your [Dm7]feet
[Dm7]YOu're looking [C]down on the [Bb]tropical trees
While the[Gm7] Spanish [Am7]maids pick up [Dm7]the sheets
[F][C]Conquistador in [F]search of [C]gold
[Dm7]For all the [Bb]jack-daw [Gm7]reasons
[Dm7]The Midas shadow[C] that's so hard [Bb]to please
[Gm7]Follows [Am7]wherever you [Dm7]go.
[Gm7] [Am] [Dm7]
[Dm7]Nothing [C]ventured, nothing gained[Bb] they said
So you [Gm7]played for [Am7]the winner [Dm7]takes all
[Dm7]And tossed the [C]dice high up and [Bb]craned your head
To see[Gm7] how the [Am7]numbers would [Dm7]fall
[F]You [C]stole the [F]game so [C]easily
[Dm7]Your luck ran[Bb] with the[Gm7] seasons
[Dm7]But still the [C]shadow that the [Bb]night won't free just
[Gm7]Follows [Am7]wherever you [Dm7]go.
[Gm7] [Am] [Dm7]

[Dm7] [Bb] [Gm7]
[Gm7] [Am7] [Dm7]
[Dm7]Another day, [C]another boarding [Bb]card,
As you [Gm7]wait for [Am7]your seat on the [Dm7]'plane
[Dm7]The movie runs [C]but you're still [Bb]working hard
And you [Gm7]don't touch[Am7] your food or [Dm7]champagne
[F]I know [C]that when[F] your well[C] runs dry
[Dm7]Yuu'll want [Bb]to know [Gm7]the reason
[Dm7]The empty night [C]will bring you [Bb]no reply
[Gm7]As it [Am7]follows wherever [Dm7]you go.
[Gm7] [Am7] [Dm7]
[Gm7] [Am7] [Bb] [Am7] [Gm7] [Am7] [Dm7]
