{c: Thanks to Sr Fox }
[G] He wanted more from life than [C] four kids and a wife
And a [G] job in a [D7] dark Kentucky [G] mine
A twenty acre farm with a [C] shackey house and barn
That’s [G] all I had and [D7] all I left be-[G]hind
But at gambling he was lucky and [C] so he left Kentucky
And [G] left behind his [D7] woman and his [G] kids
Into the gay casinos in [C] Nevada's town of Reno
This [G] Kentucky Gambler [D7] planned to get rich [G] quick
Kentucky gambler [C] who's gonna love your [D7] woman in Ken-[G]tucky
Yeah and [C] who's going to be the [G] one to give her [D7] what she [G] needs
Kentucky gambler [C] who's going to raise your [D7] kids in Ken-[G]tucky
And [C] who's going to keep them [G] fed and keep [D7] shoes on their [G] feet
There at the gambler's Paradise [C] Lady luck was on his side
And [G] Kentucky [D7] gambler played just [G] right
Yeah he won at everything he played [C] Kentucky gambler had it made
But [G] he should have quit and [D7] gone on home that [G] night
But when you love the green backed dollar [C] sorrow's always bound to follow
And [G] Reno's dreams fade [D7] into neon [G] amber
And lady luck she'll lead you on
She'll [C] stay a while and then she's gone
[G] It's better go on [D7] home Kentucky [G] gambler
But a gambler never seems to stop till [C] he loses all he's got
[G] And so Kentucky gambler [D7] he played [G] on
He played till he'd lost all he'd won [C] he was right back where he'd started from
[G] Then he started [D7] wanting to go [G] home
Kentucky gambler [C] there ain't nobody [D7] waiting in Ken-[G]tucky
[C] When he ran out [G] somebody [D7] else walked [G] in
Kentucky gambler [C] looks like you ain't [D7] really very [G] lucky
And it [C] seems to me a [G] gambler loses [D7] much more than he [G] wins
[D7] So think about it Kentucky [G] gambler
