Verse:
 G                                          C
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire.
         G                                   C
I got a whole lotta money thatʼs ready to burn,
so get the stakes up higher.

Pre Chorus:
              Em                          C
Thereʼs a thousand pretty women waitinʼ out there
         Em                        C
And theyʼre all livinʼ devil may care (??)
        Em
And Iʼm just a devil with love to spare, so

Chorus:
 C           G
Viva Las Vegas
 C           G
Viva Las Vegas

Verse:
How I wish that there were more than the 24 hours in the day.
But even if there were forty more,
I wouldnʼt sleep a minute away.

Pre Chorus:
Well thereʼs blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev-er-y deal
All you needʼs a strong heart and nerves of steel, so

Chorus:
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with your bright lights flashin,
one-armed bandits crashinʼ,
All your hopes down the drain.
Viva Las Vegas turning day into nightime, night into daytime,
         A7                                  D7
If you see it once, youʼll never be the same again

Verse:
Gonna keep on the run, gonna have some fun,
if it costs me my very lastdime.
If I wind up broke, well, I can always say
that I had a swinging time.

Pre Chorus:
Iʼm gonna give everything I got.
Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me throw a seven with every shot, so

Chorus:
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
 C       D         G
Viva, viva, Las Vegas
