England Dan and John Ford Coley - Showboat Gambler


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: C majorC

Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen

Abound for New Orleans
   G+G                  C majorC
And again I'll get that feeling that I'm free

Her paddle wheels will churn

And her smoke stacks they will burn
  G+G               C majorC
And slowly I'll be carried to the sea

CHORUS:
       FF E minorEm  DmDm
'Cause I'm a rambler
      C majorC
A augmentedA showboat gambler
     G+G       C majorC
I make my living on the run
   FF E minorEm  DmDm
I'm a rambler
      C majorC
A augmentedA showboat gambler
        G+G      C majorC
Big Muddy will always be my home


I know every river ship

'Cause I've taken every trip
  G+G              C majorC
And I know every captain by his name

In the eyes of every man

I can tell what's in his hand
 G+G                 C majorC
I guess that I have played in every game


CHORUS:
       FF E minorEm  DmDm
'Cause I'm a rambler
      C majorC
A augmentedA showboat gambler
     G+G       C majorC
I make my living on the run
   FF E minorEm  DmDm
I'm a rambler
      C majorC
A augmentedA showboat gambler
        G+G      C majorC
Big Muddy will always be my home

INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC


Tonight I'm a-sitting here

Beneath a chandelier
     G+G              C majorC
There's a lady here to light my big cigar

And if luck will be my friend

We'll be finished up by ten
       G+G                 C majorC
And we'll be standing on the decks beneath the stars


CHORUS: (## 3x - fade to end ##)
       FF E minorEm  DmDm
'Cause I'm a rambler
      C majorC
A augmentedA showboat gambler
     G+G       C majorC
I make my living on the run
   FF E minorEm  DmDm
I'm a rambler
      C majorC
A augmentedA showboat gambler
        G+G      C majorC
Big Muddy will always be my home
