G5

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man.

G5                                              E5

You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me.

    D5                      C5                              E5

The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say.

  D5                          C5

I don't share your greed, the only card I need is...

 

CHORUS:

    E5

The Ace Of Spades.  The Ace Of Spades

 

Playing for the high one, dicing with the devil,

Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,

Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,

Double up or quit, double stake or split,

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:

    E5                     D5  E5

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,

E5                                                          D5  B5

But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever,

B5

And don't forget the joker!

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  A5  B5  A5  E5

 

Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,

Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,

I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,

The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,

 

CHORUS:

 

OUTRO:  E5  D5  C5  D5  C5  E  D  E  |  E  D  E
