( 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 )
