( Dm F Am G ) throughout the song, except for the very ending Instrumental He'll take the money and the food that's in your hand But you have to understand that he's a dreamer Living my life within a mile you could believe This place turns honest men to thieves And I could see it in his eyes He was the type to sail off in the night (Chorus:) I met him through a dancer Didn't know he was a tropical chancer A tropical chancer, didn't know he was a tropical chancer I met him through a dancer Didn't know he was a tropical chancer A tropical chancer, didn't know he was a tropical chancer He'll trade your loving for the things he's never seen The places he has never been Oh but remember he is just a good pretender And he doesn't give his love away for free And I could see it in his eyes He was the type to sail off in the night (Chorus 2x) ( Am G Dm )
