[verse]
There are

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


         D#7sus4        D#7               G#m
And they think it will make their lives easier
        D#7sus4         D#7            C#m7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        G#m         D#m             F#m             C#m
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       G#m        D#m7/G#     G#m   G#m/A#   G#m/B  G#m/A#
On the turn of a friendly  card
        G#m         D#m             F#m             C#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       G#m        D#m7/G#     G#m    F#   Emaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


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


        G#m         D#m             F#m            C#m
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       G#m        D#m7/G#    G#m   G#m/A#   G#m/B  G#m/A#
On the turn of a friendly card
        G#m         D#m             F#m             C#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       G#m        D#m7/G#     G#m    F#    Emaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card

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