[A]
[E]
[C#m]
There once was a [E] gambler [A] and Wesley was [E] his name
[C#m] He'd ride many [E] miles [A] for the chance to play [E] his game
And [C#m] the [A] lifelines around [E] his eyes [A] They say
[E] Like highways [A] he'd come [E] on his way
[C#m]
They'd tell of the lady who [A] came through the [E] gust of wind
[C#m] Weary of the rounders [A] as she was from the miles
[C#m] On that hot [A] dusty day [C#m] as she watched him at [A] his play
She thought [E] she heard [A] something far inside [C#m] her say
[A]
Oh, [A] young Wesley, take [C#m] me away
[E] [A]
[E]
[C#m] She could [C#m] tell he wasn't out [E] long [A] like she'd fell in with [E] before
She [C#m] saw herself beside [E] him [A] and on the run [E] once more
But [C#m] it pained him [A] to remember the [G#m] life darkness he [A] once led
And [E] so he told her [A] of a man left [E] lying dead
[C#m]
So she told him of the ghosts [E] far [A] from lying cold [E] and still
[C#m] Of windy prairie nights [E]
with [A] their lonely [E] haunting chill
How [C#m] she still could [A] see the faces [G#m] of the robbers [A] who've gone
[E] Passed before her till [A] the first sun [C#] rays of dawn
[C#m] Oh, [E]
[A] young Wesley, take [C#m] me [E]
[A] away
[E]

[C#m]
People there who knew him [E] said they [A] saw the change [E] come round
Like [C#m] the grateful smiling laughter [E] [A] of a wanderer who's [E] been found
But [C#m] the lady wondered [A] still what kind [G#m] of game was left [A] to play
And as [E] they saddled up [A] to leave some heard [E] her say
[C#m]
You lived life as a gambler [E] all [A] along San [E] Joaquin
[C#m] In your eyes remained the [E] story [A] of the times you [E] have seen
But [C#m] your smile across [A] the campfire makes [C#m] a dream alive [A] again
Of [E] a spirit free [A] to glide [C#] across the [E]
[A] plain
[C#m] Oh, young [A] Wesley, take [C#m] me away
