[verse]
There are

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


         G#7sus4        G#7               C#m
And they think it will make their lives easier
        G#7sus4         G#7            F#m7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        C#m         G#m             Bm             F#m
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       C#m        G#m7/C#     C#m   C#m/D#   C#m/E  C#m/D#
On the turn of a friendly  card
        C#m         G#m             Bm             F#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       C#m        G#m7/C#     C#m    B   Amaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


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


        C#m         G#m             Bm            F#m
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       C#m        G#m7/C#    C#m   C#m/D#   C#m/E  C#m/D#
On the turn of a friendly card
        C#m         G#m             Bm             F#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       C#m        G#m7/C#     C#m    B    Amaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


| C#m   G#m7 | A   C#m | C#m   G#m7/C# | C#m   C#m/D#  C#m/E  C#m/D# |


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