Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
C#m  A  E
C#m  A  E

            C#m        A    E
I bought an old black limousine
B          C#m                             A         E
Packed my suit and pawned the last of our precious metal
    B        C#m         A         E
And my blue eyes never looked so green
  B         C#m                            A     E
I’ve got a debt to pay and a date with the devil
                    B
I’ve got mouths to feed
             F#m      G#m
I’ve gotta get level

Pre-Chorus:
E       A     E
Oh Las Vegas I’m
B               C#m
Running out of time
B       A        E       B
and my youth is all but ashes
     C#m         A         E
If I don’t make church by nine
          B             C#m
I’ll be praying on the drive
B           A                  E              B
Passed the lake as fake as a showgirl’s lashes


Chorus:
           C#m            A          E
That I’m ‘gonna turn our luck around
            B            C#m    B
I’m ‘gonna take this town
           A                      E                        B
I’m ‘gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out
      C#m            A          E
I’m ‘gonna turn our luck around
            B         C#m    B
I’m ‘gonna make you proud
           A                      E                        B
I’m gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out
                                C#m
And the paper rain pouring down

A  E  B
C#m  A  E  B

            C#m          A      E
I rented a room at the desert queen
    B       C#m                          A         E
I shaved my face, I comb my hair and I check the weather
B            C#m              A       E
And I see clouds where the mountains see
B           C#m                               A        E
The valley floor where the neon soars like a hand to heaven
                  B
I’ve got work to do
            F#m     G#m
Rollin’ them sevens

Pre-Chorus:
E       A     E
Oh Las Vegas I’m
B               C#m
Running out of time
B       A        E       B
and my youth is all but ashes
     C#m         A         E
If I don’t make church by nine
          B             C#m
I’ll be praying on the drive
B           A                  E              B
Passed the lake as fake as a showgirl’s lashes

Chorus:
           C#m            A          E
That I’m ‘gonna turn our luck around
            B            C#m    B
I’m ‘gonna take this town
           A                      E                        B
I’m ‘gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out
      C#m            A          E
I’m ‘gonna turn our luck around
            B         C#m    B
I’m ‘gonna make you proud
           A                      E                        B
I’m gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out
                                C#m
And the paper rain pouring down

A  E  B
C#m  A  E  B

Bridge:
       C#m                                 A
Gotta stack on the line and a stack behind
 E                                B
Rolling like a wave on a moonlit night
 C#m                             A
money on the four money on the eight
 E                                            B
Paying down the marker ‘cause the bank won’t wait
       C#m                                 A
Gotta stack on the line and a stack behind
 E                                B
Rolling like a wave on a moonlit night
 C#m                             A
money on the four money on the eight
 E                                            B
Paying down the marker ‘cause the bank won’t wait

Chorus:
      C#m            A          E
I’m ‘gonna turn our luck around
            B            C#m   B
I’m ‘gonna take this town
            A                      E                        B
I’m ‘gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out
      C#m            A          E
I’m ‘gonna turn our luck around
            B           C#m    B
I’m ‘gonna make you so proud
           A                      E                        B
I’m gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out
                                C#m  A  E
And the paper rain pouring down
                      B         C#m  A  E
And the paper rain pouring down
