   G        Fadd9
The fate of a roving gambler
   G        D5
Is waiting down the bloodthirsty highway
   G             Fadd9
The highway is my home, I'm a rambler
    G        D5     G
And I have to pay the devil every day

    G                Fadd9  G
Now if I should owe a friend a million dollars
       D5      G
He knows my guarantee is sound
  G             Fadd9
If we should get hijacked by robbers
      G      D5     G
There?d be no big money laying all around


C
     Csus4 C   G
I may be gone  to the devil
  G             Dm/F
But I ain't rollin? over for you
  G              Fadd9
If you've got a pistol in your pocket
       G  D5   G
I've got my .38 Special too


| G | Fadd9 | G D5 | G | x2


     G               Fadd9
Are you dancing for the payers of the piper?
     G          D5        G
Are you jumping through your party hoops for them?
   G           Fadd9
You won't see any nine to fivers
    G      D5       G
At the tables of my poker playing friends

  G              Fadd9
So take your politician or your banker
 G         D5        G
Take your friendly health insurance man
  G            Fadd9
I never met a cold hearted gambler
    G      D5        G
Could carry off a hustle like they can


C
     Csus4 C   G
I may be gone  to the devil
   G            Dm/F
But I ain't rollin? over for you
  G              Fadd9
If you've got a pistol in your pocket
       G  D5   G
I've got my .38 Special too
