Verse 1
(G major) Well, I came to Las Vegas
With my (C major) pockets full of money
Was a (G major) big diamond ring on my (D major) hand

In a (C major) big long Cadillac
(G major) Yeah, I was a (D major) man with a (G major) plan (G minor)
(D major) With a smile
Verse 2
(G major) on my face,
I walked (C major) up to the table

(C major) diamond ring,
(G major) my Cadillac (E minor)
(D major) My life's (G major) savings are (A major) down
the drain and (D major) that's a fact

Verse 4
Then I called brother Ed, I said,
(D major) "Send me some money"
'Cause (A major) I can feel a hot streak coming (E major) on
(A major) He said, "Sorry I'm broke,
I just got (D major) back from Las Vegas
Why don't (A major) you (E major) try our cousin (A major) Joe?"
So now, here I sit (D major) down
at Western Union
(A major) Waiting for my bus fare to come (E major) in
Oh (A major) Bakersfield, (D major) I'm on my way

They took my bankroll, my (D major)
diamond ring, my (A major) Cadillac
Had the audacity to (B major) smile and say,
