The Pool Shark chords by 
Dave Dudley
N/A•
Verse 1
C
F
He said, "Pardon me for bein' so bold
C
But you got a cigarette that's
already rolled"
F
I gave him one,
C
he lit it in his own good time
The smoke in that poolroom
F
hung like a fog
C
When he talked it sounded
like a growling dog
F
He said, "Would you care for a dollar
C
on the five or nine?"
Verse 2
C
Now this man was ugly
F
and his eyes were mean
C
His clothes were dirty but
his hands were clean
F
He held that stick like a mother holds
C
the hand of her child
F
Well, I've been known to hustle a few
C
When the waitress said,
"Was he playing you?"
And I said, "Yeah,
F
bring me brandy water by"
C
Db
Verse 3
Gb
Little Red Parker was way in the back
Db
taking quarters and handling racks
Gb
And I told him, "Red, come up here,
Db
glue 'em up tight
Gb
That brandy had me feeling warm,
Db
I tipped that waitress
And I checked her form
Gb
And I said, "Honey, you like a winner",
and she just smiled
Db
Verse 4
Gb
I played like a man with a broken wrist,
Db
I won two and he won six
Gb
And I had him set up so I said,
Db
"Let's play for five"
But this time the crowd
Gb
had gathered round
Db
To see this fish and just watch him drown
Gb
I told that waitress,
Db
"More brandy water by"
D
Verse 5
G
Then he went out and got a custom cue
D
He said, "It's no offense to you
G
But I don't play off the wall
D
with nobody but friends"
G
He had a gold initials in a leather grip
D
pearly and silver inlaid tip
G
He smiled at me and he said, "Hell-a-way,
D
we we we play for ten"
Verse 6
D
G
Well, I never seen a man that walk who made
D
those balls and table talk
G
They're speaking English,
D
he sure didn't need my help
G
He broke the ball and kept that string
D
For a hundred and eighty seven
bucks and a ring
G
Till I gave up and said, "Friend,
D
you're gonna have to play by yourself"
Eb
Verse 7
Ab
Well, he racked it up and walked outside
Eb
And I strolled out just to watch him ride
And there was a blond in their caddy
Ab
Eb
built like the rest of that car
The boys in the poolroom
Ab
they had 'em a laugh
Eb
And I hung it up and just let it pass
Abm
And had nothin' but my
Ab
elbows to put on the bar
Eb
And
Verse 8
the waitress smiled said,
Ab
"Water by?"
Eb
I took the charity and thanked her polite
Ab
And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly
Eb
I had me a thought
Ab
Unlucky gambler and lucky in love
Eb
Guess you know what I was
thinking of
Ab
When I said waitress, "Honey,
Eb
what time you get off?"

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
