Dm                            F
He'll take the money and the food that's in your hand
          Am                              G
But you have to understand that he's a dreamer
Dm                        F
Living my life within a mile you could believe
      Am                          G      
This place turns honest men to thieves, Oh


 Dm  F                    Am   G
And I could see it in his eyes
         Dm   F                    Am   G 
He was the type to sail off in the night  



CHORUS: 
Dm                           F
  I met him through a dancer 
                                      Am
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer 
                    G
A tropical chancer, 
     
didn't know he was a tropical chancer

Dm                           F
  I met him through a dancer 
                                     Am
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer 
                   G
A tropical chancer, 

didn't know he was a tropical chancer  


Dm F Am G x2

Dm                                F
He'll trade your loving for the things he's never seen 
      Am                   G
The places he has never been 
Dm                      F
Oh but remember he is just a good pretender 
         Am                             G
And he doesn't give his love away for free  


Dm  F                    Am   G
And I could see it in his eyes
         Dm   F                    Am   G 
He was the type to sail off in the night  



CHORUS:

A tropical chancer, 
     
didn't know he was a tropical chancer

Dm                           F
  I met him through a dancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer 
                   G
A tropical chancer, 

didn't know he was a tropical chancer

A tropical chancer,
