Casino doors swing open, the rich men raise their eyes
G D A F#m B
They say who is this beauty as elegant as ice

And later there's an accident, another charge d'affair
C Bm Am Bm
Is lying in a pool of blood, no witness anywhere
C D E
And they say she was a hundred miles away
C#m B A E
The hotel porter saw her climb the stairs
C#m B A F#m
And the maid with trembling hands knows what to say

At the presidential palace a thousand people saw
G D A F#m B
His excellency leave his car and never make the door

The blood flows from his fingers as he clutches at the stain
C Bm Am Bm
He staggers like a drunken man, lies twisted in the rain
C D E
And they say she grew up well provided for
C#m B A E
Her mother used to keep her boys for sure
C#m B A F#m
And father's close attentions led to talk
B E A B7
She learned to stab her food with a silver fork
