G  Bm/F#  Em  G/D  C  G/B Am7  G/B  C   D

G               Bm/F#    Em   G/D
The last I heard of you
                  C                       G/B                          Am7          C
You were somewhere on a cruise in the Mediterranean
G/D              Bm/F#  Em  G/D               C             G/B
So imagine my surprise       to see you very much alive
                            Am7    E7
In the English rain again

                                        Am
And I can still recall wet afternoons
C/G                                    D
When we were small and simply childish
G                  A/G                       D/A
But you've created your own ghost
                                          F#/Bb                     Dsus4   D
And the need you have is more than most to hide it

F              G                    F                                    G           C
Oh, Chameleon, you're stealing your way back into my eyes
D/C                              G/D
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
                       C/E                          D/F#
You're a devil, you're a devil in disguise
B                     Em                 A                Dsus4  D
Do you really change me, or am I going crazy
G                 Bm/D           C                           C/D                G
Chameleon, Chameleon, Chameleon, you're free again my child

I remember still those lazy summer days
We'd kill out hunting danger
And we were alien  to all outsiders
We had no desire to talk to strangers
