Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
  D MajorD
I?m what you?d call a bettin? man
   C majorC
And I live from pay to pay
   G+G         C majorC
I?m a high card stud of mongrel blood
   D MajorD
And a zero on the day
   D MajorD
Well I?m no sage nor soothsayer
  C majorC
nor arbiter of truth
  G+G        C majorC
I?m high on risk and low on temper
  D MajorD
And long in the tooth

[Chorus 1]
  C majorC   E minorEm     B minorBm       D MajorD
I?m wide awake on the losing end of it
    G+G         D MajorD       C majorC
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
    G+G    D MajorD   E MajorE
With a Whistle and a Grin

With a Whistle and a Grin

A augmentedA buxom belle with a surefire tell

I couldn?t take her money
    D MajorD
She was making eyes at me
D MajorD
Oh so fine with a low neck line
C majorC
Reckless fast and loose
  G+G       C majorC
She giggled as she drew me in

[Verse 3]
 D MajorD
I used the brain between my legs
   C majorC
Threw in the kitchen sink
   G+G       C majorC
That painted up bamboozler
    D MajorD
left me staring in my drink
  D MajorD
To plumb the depths inside my head
  C majorC
but I can't seem to find
  G+G       C majorC
The morale of the story
   D MajorD
or a little piece of mind
    D MajorD
Just a little piece of mind

I?m wide awake on the losing end of it
    G+G         D MajorD       C majorC
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
    G+G    D MajorD   E MajorE
With a Whistle and a Grin
    C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
With a Whistle and a Grin
    G+G    D MajorD   E MajorE
With a Whistle and a Grin
    C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
With a Whistle and a Grin
