[verse]
There are

A#m        Fm        F#             A#m
unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
      A#m           Fm7/A#   A#m   A#m/C   A#m/C#  A#m/C
And a wheel in per-petual  motion
         A#m         Fm        F#          A#m
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
                   Fm7/A#    A#m        Fm7/A#  A#m
With no show of an outward  emotion


         F7sus4        F7               A#m
And they think it will make their lives easier
        F7sus4         F7            D#m7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        A#m         Fm             G#m             D#m
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       A#m        Fm7/A#     A#m   A#m/C   A#m/C#  A#m/C
On the turn of a friendly  card
        A#m         Fm             G#m             D#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       A#m        Fm7/A#     A#m    G#   F#maj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


          A#m          Fm           F#         A#m
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
                         Fm7/A#          A#m    A#m/C  A#m/C#  A#m/C
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
        A#m             Fm         F#             A#m
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
     A#m            Fm7/A#       A#m     A#m/C A#m/C# A#m/C
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
         F7sus4        F7               A#m
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
        F7sus4         F7            D#m7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard


        A#m         Fm             G#m            D#m
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       A#m        Fm7/A#    A#m   A#m/C   A#m/C#  A#m/C
On the turn of a friendly card
        A#m         Fm             G#m             D#m
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       A#m        Fm7/A#     A#m    G#    F#maj7
On the turn of a friendly  card

      A#m           Fm        F#          A#m
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
      A#m        Fm7/A#       A#m   Fm7/A#  A#m
As he enters in-side the ca-thed-ral
