Intro: E A G Gbm 

#1. 
A     D             Em       G 
Never hit seventeen when you play against the  
                D             B                    A 
dealer, for you know that the odds won't ride with you. 
C     D          A      D              G 
Never leave your woman alone when your friends are out 

to steal her. 
          D                            A    D 
Years are gambled and gone like summer wa...ges. 

#2. 
Bm        D    A       D         G 
And we'll keep rollin' on til we get to Vancouver and the  
D            Bm                 A 
woman that I love, she?s living there. 
          D                   G 
It's been six long months and more since I've seen her. 
            D                            A   D 
Maybe she?s gambled and gone like summer wa..ges. 

Chorus: 
   A                    G              D 
In all the beer parlors all down along Main Street, 
                  Gbm             G                   A 
the dreams of the seasons get all spilled down on the floor. 
        A                         G           D 
All the big stands of timber just waiting for falling, 
                         Bm         G              A 
and the hookers standing watchfully waiting by the door. 

#3. 
Bm       D                    Gbm     G 
So, I'll work on the towboats with my slippery city shoes.. 
        D             Bm        A 
Lord, I swore I would never do again. 
Bm          D                     Em        G 
Through the gray fogbound straits where the Cedars stand  
                  D                            A   D 
watchin', I'll be far off and gone like summer wa..ges. 


   A                    G              D 
In all the beer parlors all down along Main Street, 
                  Gbm             G                   A 
the dreams of the seasons get all spilled down on the floor. 
        A                         G           D 
All the big stands of timber just waiting for falling, 
                         Bm         G              A   G Gbm Em 
and the hookers standing watchfully waiting by the door.

Never hit seventeen when you play against the  
                D             B                    A 
dealer, for you know that the odds won't ride with you. 
C     D          A      D              G 
Never leave your woman alone when your friends are out 

to steal her. 
          D                            A   D 
Years are gambled and lost like summer wa..ges.
