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

Verse 1:
G        C        D
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
   G      C       D
To waitresses and actresses
    G       C      D
And princes who preside
     Am             D                    G   C D
Over everything you thought was gone for good
