I got shot off my horse
Dmaj7Dmaj7     G+G
So what? I'm up again
G+G                   D MajorD  Dmaj7Dmaj7
Playin' in one of these big saloons on main
    G+G      A augmentedA            D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7
You can come up here take a look around these sinners dens
    G+G
You're only ever goin' to find
        A augmentedA
One or two real games
G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Nobody's drivin' me underground
D MajorD    A augmentedA
Not yet anyway

But either on the strip or on the edge of town

It's probably the safest place to be
     G+G
With your greasy little pork pies
A augmentedA    D MajorD     Dmaj7Dmaj7
And your shoestring hands
G+G           A augmentedA
Makes no difference to me
G+G     D MajorD          A augmentedA
All those directions which we never took
D MajorD          A augmentedA
To go our different ways
D MajorD           Dmaj7Dmaj7    G+G
Who went and wrote the oldest story in the book?

D MajorD        Dmaj7Dmaj7      G+G
Curl up inside a boxcar dream and disappear
G+G            D MajorD    Dmaj7Dmaj7
With a couple low roller friends
     G+G       A augmentedA
You were never one for trouble
    D MajorD      Dmaj7Dmaj7
So get out of here
 G+G                A augmentedA
I knew the game was dangerous back then
  G+G    D MajorD           A augmentedA
But nobody's breezin' through these swingin' doors
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Just ups and walks away
D MajorD        Dmaj7Dmaj7         G+G
Everybody has to leave some blood here on the floor

Chorus:
G+G
Everybody pays
G+G         D MajorD
Everybody pays to play
