Barkeep another Mekong please. Yes of course you can keep the change.
 
Am                          G              C
New glass here for this new friend of mine. Forgive me I forgot your

tails I lie. Well I came all the way from Taipei today. Now Bangkok's

Am         G             F                 G             Am

And if your bottle's empty help yourself to mine.

girl at the door, another four-dollar whore. But don't look her in the
 
                      F               Am                  G
eyes she'll break your heart. We came all the way from Taipei today.
 
      C                                F
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're goin' blind again and I haven't
