Verse 1
(G major) Gambler ambled down a country lane
Looking for a (C major) game of (D major) chance
She was (C major) twenty- one or two
And she (G major) knew what she wanted
And she (D major) wanted that gamblin' man (G major)
Verse 2
Her (G major) parents warned her
Tried to reason with her
(C major) She was determined (G major) that
she (D major) wanted Bill
They'd (C major) all be offended at the mention (G major) still
If they heard this song,
which I (D major) doubt they will
