at a glance, and publish it the ordinary manner as "chords".
Make sure you have your CAPO ON 2ND FRET & take chord names into account.

VERSE 1/2
B7
He deals the cards, in a meditation,
B7
and those who play, never suspect,
B7
he doesnt play, for the mo - ney he wins,
Em
he doesnt play for respect.
B7
He deals the cards looking for answers,
B7
the sacred geometry of chance,
B7
a hidden law, of a pro - bable outcome,
Em
the numbers lead a dance.
CHORUS 1B7
I know that the spades, are the swords of a soldier,
B7
I know that the clubs are weapons of war,
B7
I know that diamonds, are mo - ney for this art,
Em
but thats not the shape of my heart.
VERSE 3B7
And he may play the jack of diamonds,
B7
he may lay the queen of spades,
B7
he may conceal, a king in his hand,
Em
while the memory of it fades.
CHORUS 2B7
I know that the spades, are the swords of a soldier,
B7
I know that the clubs are weapons of war,
B7
I know that diamonds, are mo - ney for this art,
Em7
but thats not the shape of my heart,
Cmaj7 Esus2sus4 (Middle 8 start)
thats not the shape of my (heart
MIDDLE 8 (HARMONICA SOLO)

VERSE 4B7
And if I told you that I loved you,
B7
you maybe think theres something wrong,
B7
I'm not a man, of two many faces,
Em
the mask I wear has won.
B7
And all those that speak know nothing,
B7
and they'll find out to their cost,
B&
and those that curse their luck, in too many places,
Em
are those that fear are lost.
