Tourist Attraction
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

- B (just vocal)
- Down in the jungle, you can hear a rumble,
- Way up the Himalayas, in a Mexican bodega,
- Something is going on,
- Bm
- People are coming, running round the world,
- G
- There's no way to avoid them, they're everywhere,
-
#Fm Em D #Fm Bm A G A
#F A
- You can see them on the streets of London town;
-
-
#F
- They've found a tourist attraction,
- It's a bobby on the beat,
-
#F
- Yes a tourist attraction,
- They're all looking at his feet,
-
Em
- And the blue rinse ladies,
- Shooting cameras from the hip,
-
Bm
- Doing Europe in two days,
- "We've had a wonderful trip!"
-
Em

- You can almost hear him say,
-
#F

- (no chord as first verse)
- Caribbean island, cool drink in my hand,
- Nearest thing to Paradise, the native girls are very nice;
- Something is going wrong,
- People are coming, running down the beach,
- Cameras at the ready, get out of reach,
- Time to grab my things, I'm heading for the hills;
-
- They've found a tourist attraction,
- Yes my little hideaway
- It's a tourist attraction, it will never be the same,
- There's a big bus driver taking money on the side,
- "Everybody stick together and please follow the
guide,"
- And way over yonder, they hear somebody yell,
- "I came here for the peace and quiet, y'all go to
hell!"
- Tourist attraction, tourist attraction, tourist attraction,
- G
- tourist attraction...
