The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
/C
On this quiet island in the bay
I remember a line of women all in white
The laughter and the steel bands at night
All the A mericans are gone except for two
/C
The emba ssy's been hard to reach
There's been talk and lately a bit of action after dark
Behind the big ca sino on the beach
The rules are changed
It's not the same
It's all new players in a whole new ball game
Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
/C
I've had this fever now since yesterday
Wake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun
With his stupid face the glasses and the gun
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
( I believe I just got the good bye look )
I believe I just got the good bye—ye
( I believe I just got the goodbye look )
Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen

The rules are changed
It's not the same
It's all new players in a whole new ball game
I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
/C
A skinny man with two-one shoes
Cause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for me
Em7 A7 Dm9 F/G Cno5
Be hind the big casino by the sea
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
( I believe I just got the good bye look )
I believe I just got the good bye—ye
( I believe I just got the goodbye )
