Gordon Lightfoot - Too Much To Lose


CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO:: G  D    C  D  G

VERSE 1::
       C                      G               C
Pardon me if I'm leaving in a hurry can't you see
            G                C           G      D
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
     Em                 C                    G                C
I've played your game, obeyed your rules the best that I know how
      G                 D                 G
Gonna get out while the game don't get me down

CHORUS::
                       B7               C     G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone
                                 D
I won't see you again before the dawn
            C                            G  C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
        G                D                    G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town


INTERLUDE:: D    C  D  G


VERSE 2::
       C                          G            C
Pardon me if I don't turn back or even say goodbye
  G             C                 G    D
I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea
    Em              C           G                    C
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure
        G                 D               G
And the dust cloud on the edge of town is me


VERSE 3::
       C                                 G                C
If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow
   G              C            G    D
Forget it, that's all in yesterday
   Em           C          G              C
Forgiving is to lovers, as trusting is to fools
       G               D             G
And of losing there is nothing I can say


CHORUS::
                       B7               C     G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone
                                 D
I won't see you again before the dawn
            C                            G  C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
        G                D                    G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town


CHORUS::
                       F                C     G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone
                                 D
I won't see you again before the dawn
            C                            G  C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
        G                D                    G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
                            D                    G
Well, I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
