   D5    F5             D5    G5 
 A silver-studded rim that glistens 
 F5                  G5 
 And an ankle-star that blinds me 
            F5       
And a lemon sole so very high 
           G5 
Which only reminds me to tell you 
F5              C5 
Break the news gently 
F5                     C5 
Break the news to him gently  



Bengali, Bengali 
It's the touchy march of time that binds you 
Don't blame me 
Don't hate me 
Just because I'm the one to tell you 

That life is hard enough when you belong here 
That life is hard enough when you belong here 
Oh... 
Shelve your Western plans 
Oh... 
Shelve your Western plans 
'Cause life is hard enough when you belong 
Life is hard enough when you belong here 
Oh... 
Shelve your Western plans 
Oh... 
Shelve your best friends 
'Cause life is hard when you belong here
