[Am] [F] [A] [Em] [E]
[Am] [E] [Em]
[Am] [E] [Am] This is a song for all you gamblers out there that ever [D] stood around a crap [Am] table.
Jimmy Buffett and I made this up for the [D] casino out in Lake [Am] Tahoe where he was playing.
[D] I lost [Am] $40 at the crap [C] table, but I got this [G] song out of the sidebar.
[Am]
[C] It's all this, you know, hard eight, hard four, $10 yo, [Am] 32 hot, buck for the boys.
[C]
[G] [Am] So this is for all [F] the people standing around [A] a table there.
You catch the [D] elevator from the [Am] penthouse suite, [E] take it down to the casino.
[Am] The God almighty [D] sound of the [A] money moving [Em] round can be heard all the way to Reno.
[G]
[C] Well it's [G] midnight and [Am] I'm not famous yet.
[C] [G] Trying to break the [Am] bank, one more bet.
[C] [G] Nothing can [Em] stop my [A] 32 [F#m] hot, my [D] $10 yo, yo, yo.
[F] Well it's midnight and it's just getting [A] ready to roll.
[D] [Am]
[E] [A] Lester Polly, Esther, signs another marker like [Em] the high rollers do.
[A] Shout seven, come [D] 11, Lester's [Am] little baby [Em] needs Gucci shoes.
[G] [C] Now it's [G] midnight and [Am] she's not famous yet.
[C] [G] Trying to win it [Am] all with one more bet.
They [G] double down the [A] dealer, she's got [D] 17 and old Lester's got 22.
[F] Well it's midnight and they're always [Am] ready for you.
[D] [Am] [E]
[A] They're paging someone [D] we know, [Am] Lester makes a [Em] keno, he's not leaving yet.
[G]
[A] The vacuum cleaner's [D] humming, lounge [A] act's still a [E] strumming, it's their [Em] 24th set.
[G]
[C] Now it's [G] midnight and they're [Am] not famous yet.
Trying [G] to break out [Am] with one more bet.
[C] Nothing [G] can stop [Em] my [A] 32 hot, [D] my $10 yo, yo, yo.
[F] Well it's midnight and they're just getting [A] ready to roll.
