[verse]
There are

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


         C#7sus4        C#7               F#m
And they think it will make their lives easier
        C#7sus4         C#7            Bm7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        F#m         C#m             Em             Bm
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       F#m        C#m7/F#     F#m   F#m/G#   F#m/A  F#m/G#
On the turn of a friendly  card
        F#m         C#m             Em             Bm
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       F#m        C#m7/F#     F#m    E   Dmaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


          F#m          C#m           D         F#m
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
                         C#m7/F#          F#m    F#m/G#  F#m/A  F#m/G#
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
        F#m             C#m         D             F#m
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
     F#m            C#m7/F#       F#m     F#m/G# F#m/A F#m/G#
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
         C#7sus4        C#7               F#m
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
        C#7sus4         C#7            Bm7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard


        F#m         C#m             Em            Bm
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       F#m        C#m7/F#    F#m   F#m/G#   F#m/A  F#m/G#
On the turn of a friendly card
        F#m         C#m             Em             Bm
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       F#m        C#m7/F#     F#m    E    Dmaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


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


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