Kentucky Gambler 2 chords

Capo on fret #1

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G]

[G]I wanted more from life, than f[C]our kids and a wife
And a j[G]ob in a [D]dark Kentucky [G]mine.
A twenty acre farm, with [C]a shackey house and barn
Thats [G]all I had and a[D]ll I left b[G]ehind

[G]But at gambling, I was lucky, and s[C]o I left Kentucky
[G]And left behind my [D]woman and my [G]kids
[G]Into the gay casinos, of Ne[C]vada's town of Reno
[G]This Kentucky Gambler [D]planned to get rich q[G]uick

[G]Kentucky gambler wh[C]o's gonna love [D]your woman in Kentu[G]cky
[C]Yeah and who'[G]s going to be the[D] one to give [G]her all she needs.
[G]Kentucky gamb[C]ler, who's going[D] to raise your childr[G]en in Kentucky
[C]And who's going t[G]o keep them fe[D]d and keep them shoes[G] on their feet

[G]There at the gambler's Paradise, L[C]ady luck was on my side
[G]and this Kentucky gambler p[D]layed just [G]right
[G]Yeah I won at everything I played - I[C] really thought I had it made
[G]But I should have q[D]uit and gone on home that n[G]ight

[G]But when you love the green backed dollar, so[C]rrow always bound tofollow
and[G] Reno's dreams fade i[D]nto neon amber [G]
[G]And Lady Luck, she'll lead you on
She'll [C]stay a while, and then she's gone
[G]You better go on [D]home, Kentucky g[G]ambler

[G]But a gambler never seems to stop, till he l[C]oses all he's got
a[G]nd with a money - [D]hungry fever, I played [G]on
[G]I played till I'd lost all I'd won, I[C] was right back where I'd started from.
T[G]hen I started[D] wanting - to go[G] home

[G]Kentucky g[C]ambler, there ain't [D]nobody, waiting in K[G]entucky
[C]When I ran[G] out, someb[D]ody else walked i[G]n
[G]Kentucky gambler[C] , looks like you ai[D]n't really very luck[G]y
[C]And it seems to[G] me a gambler lose[D]s much more than h[G]e wins
much [D]more than he w[G]ins.
