 And the C/Dcity don't Dmknow that the city is getting

 Since the TC/Dirolean spa hDmad the chess boys in it

All change -- don't you know that when you

C/DPlay at this lDmevel there's no ordinary venue

Gm7 It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --

 or this A7b9place!

2nd Verse:

Dm One town's very like another

When your head's down over your pieces, brother

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

Gm7Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking Dmtown --

Tea, girls, warm, sweet

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist

Whose every move's among the purest

Gm7 I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine A7b9
