Gm


🎸 Verse 1:
Gm                          Gm      Gm
I guess it depends what you mean by collusion
                            B7
There's no winning strategy here
   Gm                      Gm           Gm
If you think that Ev and I worked out a system
                     B7       Gm
Well, things are not as they appear
       Gm                      Gm
And if I thought behavior like this would win card games
                              B7
I'd show up more often ‘round here
      Gm                        Gm           Gm
May I say for a pit boss you're really quite lovely
             B7             Gm
I'm sorry we met like this, dear

🎸 Chorus:
        Gm*                        Gm*
But I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard
     Gm                        B7
It's credit where credit ain’t due
         Gm                        Gm        Gm
What you failed to account for per your calculations
                        B*        Gm
Is that fools sometimes gеt lucky too
C                                              Gm
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must bе a fool
C                                                Gm
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too


🎸 Verse 2:
Gm                               Gm        Gm
Complaints have been lodged by respectable locals
                           B7
We've poisoned their usual grind
  Gm                          Gm          Gm
A more noble group dressed in hoodies and sunglasses
             B7              Gm
You would be hard-pressed to find
Gm                            Gm
Players like this should have known that if only
                                    B7
They'd allowed us our drink and our fun
          Gm                     Gm           Gm
We'd have given it all back with interest and pleasure
                     B7          Gm
In the long run that would never come


🎸 Chorus:

It's credit where credit ain’t due

C                                              Gm
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must bе a fool

He says he's entitled to whiskey by sovereignty, birthright, and citizenship

And if they're running bad because we're drinking liquor, it doesn’t reflect on them well
      Gm               Gm              Gm                      B*             Gm
