Intro:
D                              G
Surly Joe, The Gambler, will gamble nevermore
    D                               A7
His days of stud and hold em, they are done
      D                            G
It was long about last April, he stepped into this saloon
       D            A7                D
But he never really took to anyone.

Verse 1:
    G          D
Surly Joe! Surly Joe!
     D                            A7
O wherever he's gamblin' now, I don't know
         D      D7                G    G7
He was slick but I was slicker, he drew quick but I was quicker
    D             A7               D
And the table stopped his ticker Surly Joe - Yee Haw!

Verse 2:
G          D
Surly Joe! Surly Joe!
     D                            A7
Won't be missed by anyone, will Surly Joe
         D      D7                G    G7
Humankind he frowned upon but not now -- his face is gone!
    D             A7               D
Guess your frowning days are done on Surly Joe

Verse 3:
G          D
Surly Joe! Surly Joe!
     D                     A7
A cedilla on the C of Curly Joe
         D      D7                G    G7
He was mean in days of yore, now they're moppin' up the floor!
    D             A7               D
One more sight to make him sorrow, Surly Joe

Verse 4:
G          D
Surly Joe! Surly Joe!
     D                     A7
Where the heck his face has got to we don't know
         D      D7                G    G7
He was never any fun, now his grumpy race has run
    D             A7               D
Kisser blown to kingdom come, oh Surly Joe
