[verse]
There are

D#m        A#m        B             D#m
unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
      D#m           A#m7/D#   D#m   D#m/F   D#m/F#  D#m/F
And a wheel in per-petual  motion
         D#m         A#m        B          D#m
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
                   A#m7/D#    D#m        A#m7/D#  D#m
With no show of an outward  emotion


         A#7sus4        A#7               D#m
And they think it will make their lives easier
        A#7sus4         A#7            G#m7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        D#m         A#m             C#m             G#m
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       D#m        A#m7/D#     D#m   D#m/F   D#m/F#  D#m/F
On the turn of a friendly  card
        D#m         A#m             C#m             G#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       D#m        A#m7/D#     D#m    C#   Bmaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


          D#m          A#m           B         D#m
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
                         A#m7/D#          D#m    D#m/F  D#m/F#  D#m/F
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
        D#m             A#m         B             D#m
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
     D#m            A#m7/D#       D#m     D#m/F D#m/F# D#m/F
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
         A#7sus4        A#7               D#m
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
        A#7sus4         A#7            G#m7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard


        D#m         A#m             C#m            G#m
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       D#m        A#m7/D#    D#m   D#m/F   D#m/F#  D#m/F
On the turn of a friendly card
        D#m         A#m             C#m             G#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       D#m        A#m7/D#     D#m    C#    Bmaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card

      D#m           A#m        B          D#m
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
      D#m        A#m7/D#       D#m   A#m7/D#  D#m
As he enters in-side the ca-thed-ral
