[verse]
There are

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


         F#7sus4        F#7               Bm
And they think it will make their lives easier
        F#7sus4         F#7            Em7
For God knows, up till now it's been hard
        Bm         F#m             Am             Em
But the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       Bm        F#m7/B     Bm   Bm/C#   Bm/D  Bm/C#
On the turn of a friendly  card
        Bm         F#m             Am             Em
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       Bm        F#m7/B     Bm    A   Gmaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


          Bm          F#m           G         Bm
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
                         F#m7/B          Bm    Bm/C#  Bm/D  Bm/C#
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
        Bm             F#m         G             Bm
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
     Bm            F#m7/B       Bm     Bm/C# Bm/D Bm/C#
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
         F#7sus4        F#7               Bm
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
        F#7sus4         F#7            Em7
And God knows, up till now it's been hard


        Bm         F#m             Am            Em
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
       Bm        F#m7/B    Bm   Bm/C#   Bm/D  Bm/C#
On the turn of a friendly card
        Bm         F#m             Am             Em
No, the game never ends when your whole world de-pends
       Bm        F#m7/B     Bm    A    Gmaj7
On the turn of a friendly  card


| Bm   F#m7 | G   Bm | Bm   F#m7/B | Bm   Bm/C#  Bm/D  Bm/C# |


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