D

D

Til' boredom overtook us and
E
A
he commenced to speak.
Verse 2
A
He said: "Son, I've made a life out of
D

readin' people's faces,
"And knowin' what their cards were,

by the way they held their eyes.
A
"And if you don't mind my sayin',
D
A
I would say you're out of aces,
D
A
"And for one taste of your whiskey,
E
A
I will give you some advice."
Verse 3
A
So I handed him my bottle,
D
A
and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette,
E
then he bummed a light.
A
The night got deathly quiet and
D
A
his face lost all expression.
D
A
He said: "If you're gonna play the game,
E
A
boy, you better learn to play it right."

"'Cos ev'ry gambler knows
