Intro 
D  C G D  C G D   G   D G D A D 


 
D                  C       G    D 
I've always been intrigued by a gambler 
                      C        G      D 
The way he throws his life out on the line 
G                              D      G 
One day he might be a big high roller 
        D                 A           D 
And the next day he won't even have a dime 
 

 
D                  C      G    D 
I never thought of myself as a gambler 
                           C      G    D 
Though I've wagered on her lovin' many times 
            G                              D     G 
And now I'm standing here the empty handed loser 
     D                 A             D 
With just her cheating memory left behind 
 

 
            G                              D 
So when you look at me you're lookin' at a gambler 
                                         A 
Though I do not bet with money like most do 
        D                              G 
Lord, I bet my heart her love would be faithful 
    D             A                D 
But lady luck has left me with the blues

D                  C                D 
Yeah, she had me believin' that she loved me 
                 C               D 
Even though we'd had rough times before 
    G                           D    G 
And now I sit alone and cry for hours 
      D                  A               D 
While she's out with the guy she left me for 
 

 
            G                              D 
So when you look at me you're lookin' at a gambler 
                                         A 
Though I do not bet with money like most do 
        D                              G 
Lord, I bet my heart her love would be faithful 
    D             A                D 
But lady luck has left me with the blues 
D 
Oh, yeah
