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                                  D
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
