A C#7 F#m D7
Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose,
A (chrom. walk) F# B D
You and me got to spend more time wonderin' what to choose.
CHORUS
A C#7
Goes to show, you don't ever know,
F#m A D D7
Watch each card you play and play it slow.
A G D
Wait until that deal come 'round,
A G D A
Don't you let that deal go down, no no.
I've been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years,
And if I told you all that went down it would burn off both your ears.
[CHORUS]
Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes,
I hate to leave you sittin' there composing lonesome blues.
[CHORUS]
