[Am] [C]
[D] [Em] [Am]
Well, the wicked king of clubs [C] awoke, It was to his queen he turned,
[Dm] His lips were laughing as they [Em] spoke, His eyes like bullets burned,
[Am] The sun's upon the gambling [C] day, The queen smiled low and [D] blissfully,
Let's make some wretched fool to [E] pay, And plain it was she [Em] did agree.
[Am] So he sent his deuce down in [C] the diamond, His four to heart and his trade of [D] spade,
Three [Dm] kings at their [D] allegiance [Em] comment, Preparations soon were made,
[Am] Till they voted club the [C] day's commander, Give him an army face and [Dm] number,
All with the outlaw jacket, [Em] diamonds and the aces in [Am] the sky.
[C]
[D] [Em] [Am]
Well it give his sevens his first [C] instruction, The spirit made a game of [D] stud,
[Dm] Stakes unscathed by [Em] limitations, Turned a man named gold to a man named [Am] mud,
A little filled gold with greedy [C] favors, Till his long green eyes did [Dm] glow,
The mud was left with sighs and [Em] trembles, Watching his hard earned money [Am] go,
Flushes fell on gold like [C] water, Chins it paired and paired [D] again,
But the aces hung, the flute through [E] heaven, And the diamond jack [Em] called no man friend,
[Am] The diamond queen saw [C] mud's ordeal, And began to think of her long lost [D] son,
Fell to her knees at her mother's mercy, [Em] And prayed to the angels ever want,
[Am] So his diamond queen she prayed [C] and prayed, Diamond angel filled mud's hole,
[Dm] Until the wicked king of clubs [G] himself, [Em] Fell face down in front of gold.
[Am] Now three kings come to [C] club's command, But the aces from the sky did [Dm] ride,
Three kings up on the streets [G] of gold, [Em] Three fly balls on the muddy side,
[Am] But club queen heard her [C] husband's call, Allured that queen of diamonds joy,
[Dm] When the outlaw in the [Em] heavenly hall, Turned out to be her wandering boy,
[Am] Now muddy checked [C] gold bet all, Muddy raised and gold did call,
[Dm] And that smile just melted off his [D] face, [Em] While mud turned over that diamond ace,
[Am] This is what this [C] story's told, Feel like mud you'll end up gold,
[D] If you feel like lost you'll end up found, [Em] So amigo let them raise [Am] these diamonds.
