[G] [F] [Em]
[G] Never [C] hit seventeen when you [F] play against the dealer
For you [C] know that the [Am] odds won't ride with [G] you [G7]
Never [C] leave your woman alone
When your [F] friends are out to steal her
Years are [C] gambled and [Am] lost like summer [G] wa-[C]ges
{c: }
And we'll keep rollin' on till we [F] get to Vancouver
And the [C] woman that I [Am] love who's living [G] there [G7]
Its been [C] six long months and [F] more since I've seen her
She may be [C] gambled and [F] gone like summer [G] wa-[C]ges
{c: }
In [G] all the beer taverns all [F] down along [C] Main Street
The dreams of the [Em] season are all [F] spilled out on the [C] floor
All the [G] big stands of timber just [F] waitin' for [C] fallin'
And the [C7] hookers standing [Am] watchfully [F] waiting by the [G] door [G7]
{c: }
So I'll [C] work on them towboats in my [F] slippery city shoes
Which I [C] swore I would [Am] never do a-[G]gain
Through the [C] grey fog bound straights
Where the [F] cedars stand watchin'
I'll be [C] far off and [Am] gone like summer [G] wa-[C]ges
{c: }
In [G] all the beer taverns all [F] down along [C] Main Street
The dreams of the [Em] season are all [F] spilled out on the [C] floor
All the [G] big stands of timber just [F] waitin' for [C] fallin'
And the [C7] hookers standing [Am] watchfully [F] waiting by the [G] door [G7]
{c: }
[G] Never [C] hit seventeen when you [F] play against the dealer
For you [C] know that the [Am] odds won't ride with [G] you [G7]
Never [C] leave your woman alone
When your [F] friends are out to steal her
Years are [C] gambled and [Am] lost like summer [G] wa-[C]ges
[F] Years are [C] gambled and [Am] lost like summer [G] wa-[C]ges [C]
