Verse 1:
G    C    D
Poor old Turf the Gambler
  G   C     D
He was a friend of mine
Am        F        D   G D
Crashed upon the pavement by the Beast
G     C    D
We'd been playing poker
  G      C    D
Of course, and drinking wine
Am        D        G   C
When we heard his soul had been released

Verse 2:
  G     C    D
We glued him back together
  G    C  D
And passed a hat around
Am       F         D C G D
Paid to have it stitched above his bed
 G     C     D
Embroidered words he'd spoken
   G     C   D
Would greet his tired eyes
   Am       D       G  C
When he awoke, transfixed but not dead

Poor old Turf thе Gambler
  G   C     D
And now he tells his talе
  Am          F      D
And shows his scars from here to Hollywood

To waitresses and actresses
  G    C   D
And princes who preside

Over everything you thought was gone for good
