[D] [C] [Bm]
[D] Never [G] hit seventeen when you [C] play against the dealer
For you [G] know that the [Em] odds won't ride with [D] you [D7]
Never [G] leave your woman alone
When your [C] friends are out to steal her
Years are [G] gambled and [Em] lost like summer [D] wa-[G]ges
{c: }
And we'll keep rollin' on till we [C] get to Vancouver
And the [G] woman that I [Em] love who's living [D] there [D7]
Its been [G] six long months and [C] more since I've seen her
She may be [G] gambled and [C] gone like summer [D] wa-[G]ges
{c: }
In [D] all the beer taverns all [C] down along [G] Main Street
The dreams of the [Bm] season are all [C] spilled out on the [G] floor
All the [D] big stands of timber just [C] waitin' for [G] fallin'
And the [G7] hookers standing [Em] watchfully [C] waiting by the [D] door [D7]
{c: }
So I'll [G] work on them towboats in my [C] slippery city shoes
Which I [G] swore I would [Em] never do a-[D]gain
Through the [G] grey fog bound straights
Where the [C] cedars stand watchin'
I'll be [G] far off and [Em] gone like summer [D] wa-[G]ges
{c: }
In [D] all the beer taverns all [C] down along [G] Main Street
The dreams of the [Bm] season are all [C] spilled out on the [G] floor
All the [D] big stands of timber just [C] waitin' for [G] fallin'
And the [G7] hookers standing [Em] watchfully [C] waiting by the [D] door [D7]
{c: }
[D] Never [G] hit seventeen when you [C] play against the dealer
For you [G] know that the [Em] odds won't ride with [D] you [D7]
Never [G] leave your woman alone
When your [C] friends are out to steal her
Years are [G] gambled and [Em] lost like summer [D] wa-[G]ges
[C] Years are [G] gambled and [Em] lost like summer [D] wa-[G]ges [G]
