Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 1
Your daddy (G major) was a gambling
man my mother said (C major) to me (G major)
He left (C major) me when (C minor) you (G major) were a child (E minor)
but he was all (G major) this world (D major) to me (G major)
I know your daddy loved me too
from tattoo on (C major) his arms (G major)
Was a heart (C major) of love (C minor) that bored (G major) my
name (E minor) and (G major) was his good (D major) luck charm (G major)
I didn't heed my mother's
words to leave the (C major) cards alone (G major)
I took (C major) to gambling (C minor) just (G major) like dad (E minor)
and (G major) left my mother's (D major) home
(G major)

Verse 2
One night the gang was gathered
round we delt the hand (C major) of draw (G major)
An old (C major) man sat (C minor) across (G major) from
me (E minor) and this (G major) is what (D major) I saw (G major)
From out his sleeve he pulled the
card and I pulled out (C major) my gun (G major)
I shot (C major) him dead (C minor) not knowing (G major)
then (E minor) what (G major) evil I (D major) had done (G major)
He fell across the table his
hands reached out (C major) in vain (G major)
His sleeve (C major) slipped back (C minor) an d upon
(G major) his arm (E minor) I (G major) could see (D major) so plain (G major)
I gazed down at his lifeless arm
and I hung my head (C major) in shame (G major)
For upon (C major) his arm (C minor) was tattooed (G major) heart (E minor)
(D major) and I saw (G major) my mother (D major) (E minor) 's name (G major)
I saw my mother's name
