I met up with a gambler.

He began to speak
Said son, I've made a life

They held their eyes
So if you don't mind me saying [C] I can see [G] you're out of aces for a taste of whiskey
I'll give you some advice.
I
Handed in my bottle [C] and I drank down [G] my last swallow
Then he bumped a cigarette
And asked me for a line
I got deathly quiet [C] and a straight snarls
[G] Expressing if you're gonna play the game [D] boy, you gotta learn to [G] play.

Know [E] what to keep [A] is every hands a winner [D] and every hand

So when he finished speaking
[D] He turned back [A] towards the window
Crushed a cigarette
