Barkeep another Mekong please. Yes of course you can keep the change.

Am                          G              C
New glass here for this new friend of mine. Forgive me I forgot your

F     Am                        G           C
name. Flip a coin what shall we talk about? Heads I tell the truth and

fifteen thousand miles.


Chorus 1:

F                           C          G
Well is it true it's always happy hour here?

F                        G           
And if it is I'd like to stay a while.

Am         G             F                 G             Am
Well as cliche as it may sound I'd like to raise another round.

            G              F
And if your bottle's empty help yourself to mine.

girl at the door, another four-dollar whore. But don't look her in the

eyes she'll break your heart. We came all the way from Taipei today.

      C                                F
Still Bangkok's p**sin' rain and we're goin' blind again and I haven't

Am               G
seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles.
