Dm7             C               Bb
You've got your ticket and your hotel keys
         Gm7       Am7           Dm7
And your overnight bag at your feet
Dm7             C               Bb
YOu're looking down on the tropical trees
         Gm7       Am7           Dm7
While the Spanish maids pick up the sheets
F       C       F         C
Conquistador in search of gold
Dm7          Bb       Gm7
For all the jack-daw reasons
Dm7             C               Bb
The Midas shadow that's so hard to please
Gm7       Am7         Dm7
Follows wherever you go.

Gm7  Am  Dm7 x2


Dm7             C               Bb
Nothing ventured, nothing gained they said
         Gm7       Am7           Dm7
So you played for the winner takes all
Dm7             C               Bb
And tossed the dice high up and craned your head
      Gm7       Am7           Dm7
To see how the numbers would fall
F       C       F         C
You stole the game so easily
Dm7          Bb       Gm7
Your luck ran with the seasons
Dm7             C               Bb
But still the shadow that the night won't free just
Gm7     Am7          Dm7
Follows wherever you go.

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