The Pool Shark Chords by Dave Dudley

_ _ _ He said pardon me [F] being so bold.
Did you [C] got a cigarette?
It's already rolled.
I gave him one
He lit it his [C] own good time
_ The smoke in that [F] pool room hung like fog when he [G] talked he sounded like a [Em] growling dog
He said [F] would you care for a dollar on the five and [C] a nine?
_ Now this man was [F] ugly and his eyes were mean [C] his clothes were dirty, but his hands were clean
He [F] held that stick like a mother holds the hand of the [C] child
_ _ Well, I've been known [F] to hustle a few [C] when the waitress said is he playing you and I said [F] yeah
Bring me brandy water [C] back
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
Little red Parker [F#] was away in the back [C#] taking quarters and handling racks [F#] not only red come up here
glue them [C#] up tight _ _
That brandy had [F#] me feeling warm
[C#] I tipped that waitress and I checked her form and [F#] I said honey you like a winner and she's [C#] just mine I _
_ Played like a [F#] man with a broken wrist.
[C#] I want to and he won six and [F#] I had him set up.
So I said
[C#] Let's play for five _
By this time a [F#] crowd had gathered [C#] around to see this fish and just watch him [F#] drown
I told that waitress more brandy [C#] water by _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ Then he went out and got a custom cue
He said it's no offense to [G] you, but I don't play off the wall with [D] nobody but friends
_ It had gold [G] initials and a leather grip
[D] Whirling silver interlayed tip.
[G] He smiled at me and said why don't we play for [D] ten?
_ Well, I've never [G] seen a man that [D] walk who made those balls and table talk.
[G] They're speaking English.
He sure didn't [D] need my help
_ _ He broke [G] balls and kept that [D] string for a hundred eighty seven bucks [G] ring till I gave up and said friend
[D] You're gonna have to play by yourself
[D#] _ _ _
Well, he sacked it up and he [G#] walked outside [D#] I strolled out just to watch him ride
[G#] There was a blonde and a caddy bill like the [D#] rest of that car _
The boys in the pool [G#] room.
They had him laugh
[D#] Hung it up and just let it pass
[G#] Didn't have a thing but my elbows to put on the [D#] bar _
And the way to smile says [G#] water by [D#] I took charity and you think twice
[G#] Sitting there sipping and suddenly I had me a [D#] thought _ _
Unlucky gambler [G#] and lucky love [D#] gets you know what I was thinking of when I said [G#] wait this honey.
What [D#] time do you get off? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
