two men who [A] were gambling in the dark, oh [A] yeah
and pilling, two [G] men who gambled late
seven men, [A] swore that he [D] threw eight, oh yeah
God will it, oh [G] you know how it's going for that
my money [A] and my bread, [D] Cadillac
the leaves [A] came tumbling [D] down
[C] was standing on the corner when I [G] heard my bulldog bark
two men who [A] were gambling in the dark, oh [A] yeah
and pilling, two [G] men who gambled late
seven men, [A] swore that he [D] threw eight, oh yeah
God will it, oh [G] you know how it's going for that
