Roving Gambler chords by Billie Joe And Norah

Chords with lyrics

Intro: G+G

G+G
I am a roving gambler I gambled all around

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
 C majorC      G+G
I lay my money down
          C majorC
Lay my money down, lay my money down

G+G
I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three

I met up with a pretty little girl
  C majorC         G+G
She fell in love with me
           C majorC
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me

G+G
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in her mother's ear
 C majorC         G+G
I love that gambling man
            C majorC
Love that gambling man, love that gambling man

G+G
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?

Leave your dear old mother
  C majorC       G+G
And with a gambler go
          C majorC
With a gambler go, with a gambler go

G+G
My mother oh dear mother you can not understand
If you ever see me a coming back
   C majorC         G+G
I'll be with a gambling man
           C majorC
With a gambling man, with a gambling man

G+G
I left her here in El Paso and I wound up in Maine

I met up with a gambling man
C majorC       G+G
Got in a poker game
           C majorC
Got in a poker game, got in a poker game

G+G
We put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around

I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
   C majorC         G+G
And I shot that gambler down
            C majorC
Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down

G+G
Well, now I'm in the jailhouse got a number for my name

The Warden said as he locked the door
   C majorC         G+G
You've gambled your last game
            C majorC
Gambled your last game, gambled your last game

G+G
I am a roving gambler I gambled all around

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
 C majorC      G+G
I lay my money down
          C majorC
Lay my money down, lay my money down
