Life springs eternal on a gaudy neon street
Csus2  G/B Dsus4/A     D   G
Not that I care at all

I spent the best part of my losing streak in an Army Jeep
   Csus2   G/B         Dsus4/A    D   G
For what I can recall
        Csus2  G/B  Dsus4/A  D  G        Csus2    G/B      Dus4/A
Oh I'm banging on my Tv set       and I check the odds again,   and I place my bet
  Csus2    G/B      Dsus4/A
I pour a drink and
             D   G     Csus2    G/B     Dsus4/A
I pull the blinds - I wonder what I'll find

I'm leaving Las Vegas,                   the lights so bright
      G/B    Dsus4/A                D
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night
G                Csus2  G/B  Dsus4/A   D  G
Leaving Las Vegas
                  Csus2  G/B  D
Leaving for good,               for good
             D G     Csus2  G/B  D
I'm leaving for good
             D G     Csus2  G/B  D
I'm leaving for good


Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker to demonstrate his might
But these days it seems nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today

I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh, the lights so bright
Blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
    Em
For good
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
        G                      G/B
Waiting for my ship to come in
Em
  But now no joker, no jack, no king
C                G      C     Dsus4/A
  Can take this losing hand          and make it win
     D          G      Csus2  G/B  Dsus4/A  D  G  Csus2  G/B  Dsus4/A
I'm leaving Las Vegas,
     D           G    Csus2  G/B  Dsus4/A  D          G  Csus2 G/B  Dsus4/A  D
I'm leaving Las Vegas                        for good
     G    Csus2  G/B  Dsus4/A  D
For good

I quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddly line between the things you want
And the things you have to do



I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good


Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright on a Saturday night

                G      Csus2  G   Csus2 etc

I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back, no I won't be back
Not this time
