CAPO 3
BBBBmGABmA
I think she was a middle-distance runner...
F#mGBmA
(the translation wasn't clear).
F#mEmG
Could be a budding stately hero.
ADA
International competition in a year.
GABmA
She was a good enough reason for a party...
F#mGBmA
(well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile)
F#mEmA
while she ran a perfect circle.
DAGA(sus4)
And she wore a perfect smile
BmBm1BBGABBm71
in Budapest... hot night in Budapest.
GABmA
We had to cozzy up in the old gymnasium...
F#mGBmA
dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear.
F#mEmG
She was helping out at the back-stage...
ADA
stopping hearts and chilling beer.
GABmA
Yes, and her legs went on for ever.
F#mGBmA
Like staring up at infinity
F#mEmA
through a wisp of cotton panty
DAGA(sus4)
along a skin of satin sea.
BmBm1BBGABAm71
in Budapest... hot night in Budapest.

You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife.

Feel it blowing from the sidefills.

Feel like you were playing for your life
E(SUS4)
(if not the money).
BBBBGABmBm71
hot night in Budapest.
SAME PART 1
She bent down to fill the ice box
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
like some weird unearthly vision
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
But the boys and me were heading west
so we left her to the late crew
and a hot night in Budapest.
It was a hot night in Budapest.
F#mD
She didn't speak much English language...
ABmGA
(she didn't speak much anyway).
F#mD
She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich
AGBm
and she poured sweet wine before we played.
Hey, Budapest, cha, cha, cha. Let's watch her now.
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
But she didn't grace our table.
In fact, she wasn't there at all.
Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Like staring up at infinity.
Her heart was spinning to the west-lands
and she didn't care to be
that night in Budapest.
Hot night in Budapest.
