The Domino Song chords by Gary P. Nunn
Verse 1
D
Well, my granddaddy
G
taught me all about life,
how you handle the struggle and strife,
A
how you can tell what a man knows
G
D
by the way he handles his dominoes.
He taught me to shuffle
and bones face down
G
A
so you don't know what you're drawing this
G
A
round and all your hustle don't make a damn
G
cause you win or lose by
D
the play of your hand.
You take a nickel,
I'll take a dime,
G
my down's coming up next time.
A
You play the spinner
and I'll be the winner
G
D
in this game of dominoes
Well the double five gets you ten to begin
G
the blank five makes it even again
A
The double blank makes you
look like a winner
G
D
my five four starting to cut off the spinner
I had the blank 6 -6 -5 in my
G
hands
You know, you gotta win any way you can
A
But that's gonna be increasingly harder
G
As you got to go to
D
the old boneyard
You take a nickel and
I'll take a dime
G
My down's coming up next time
A
You play the spinner, I'll be the winner
G

In this game of dominoes

G
Well, you was 35 ahead when I dominoed
My granddaddy taught me something
you never know
A
Said, don't have to be the fastest
gun in the west
G
Hang on, outlast him,
D
and you'll be the best
G
So when I laid the last bone down,
spots in your hands weighed 40 pounds,
A
double six, double four, six, four, ten more,
G
you add them all up
D
and you're right down to score.
You take a nickel,
I'll take a dime,
G
my down's coming up next time,
A
you play the spinner
And I'll be the winner
G
D
in this game of dominoes
Everybody sing now.
You take a nickel and I'll take
a dime
G
My dime's coming up next time
