You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town -- Dm Tea, girls, warm, sweet Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite Dm Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist Whose every move's among the purest Gm7 Gm7 Dbdim I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine Chorus 2: Dm Bb F C Dm One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble Gm C Gm7 Not much between despair and ecstasy Dm Bb F C Dm One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Gm C Gm7 Dm Can't be too careful with your company Gm C Dm I can feel the devil walking next to me Solo: A7 Verse 3: C Dm Siam's gonna be the witness C Dm To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness C Dm This grips me more than would a C Dm Muddy old river or reclining Buddha Gm7 And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it -- Dm7 I don't see you guys rating C Dm The kind of mate I'm contemplating C Dm I'd let you watch, I would invite you C Dm Gm7 But the queens we use would not excite you Gm7 So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage Dbdim parlours Chorus 3: Dm Bb F C Dm One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster Gm C Gm7 The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free Dm Bb F C Dm You'll find a god in every gol-den cloister Gm C Gm7 Dm a little flesh, a little histo-ry Gm C I can feel an angel sliding up to me Chorus 4: Dm Bb F C Dm One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble Gm C Gm7 Not much between despair and ecstasy Dm Bb F C Dm One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Gm C Gm7 Dm Can't be too careful with your company Gm C Dm Dm9 I can feel the devil walking next to me
