Merle Haggard - Kentucky Gambler

Capo on fret #1

Intro:  G C D G C G D G

G                              C
I wanted more from life, than four kids and a wife
       G       D             G
And a job in a dark Kentucky mine.
                         C
A twenty acre farm, with a shackey house and barn
      G              D          G
Thats all I had and all I left behind


G                                  C
But at gambling, I was lucky, and so I left Kentucky
G                  D            G
And left behind my woman and my kids
G                          C
Into the gay casinos, of Nevada's town of Reno
G                     D                    G          
This Kentucky Gambler planned to get rich quick 

                                                      
G                  C              D                  G                          
Kentucky gambler who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky
C            G                D            G
Yeah and who's going to be the one to give her all she needs.
G            C               D                    G
Kentucky gambler, who's going to raise your children in  Kentucky
C                G             D                    G
And who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet


G                                 C
There at the gambler's Paradise, Lady luck was on my side
G                          D          G
and this Kentucky gambler played just right
G                                     C
Yeah I won at everything I  played - I really thought I had  it made
G                  D                          G
But I should have quit and gone on home that night


G                                            C
But when you love the green backed dollar, sorrow always bound tofollow
   G                    D                    G           
and Reno's dreams fade into neon amber
G
And Lady Luck, she'll lead you on
       C
She'll stay a while, and then she's gone
G                D               G
You better go on home, Kentucky gambler


G                                           C
But a gambler never seems to stop, till he loses all he's got
 G                 D                      G           
and with a money - hungry fever, I played on
G                                    C
I played till I'd lost all I'd won, I was right back where I'd started from.
 G            D               G          
Then I started wanting - to go home


G         C                   D                   G 
Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody, waiting in Kentucky
C         G          D                G
When I ran out, somebody else walked in
G               C                  D                   G  
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
C              G                 D                 G    
And it seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins
     D             G
much more than he wins.
