Daddy Was A Gambling Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
He doesn't [G]drink, he doesn't smoke
He [C]doesn't [G]fool around when he plays in town,
he just [D]goes for broke
And when he [C]is [G]away,
she can't help but feel [C]the chill[G][Am]
'Cause Daddy is [G]a gamblin' man,
[D]but Mama lov[G]es him still

[Verse 2]
[G]
She [C]count[G]s her blessings
while he counts his cards
The only other girl in his whole wide
world is the [D]Queen of Hearts
She knows [G]he can't quit,
he just hasn't got [C]the [G]will[C][Am]
'Cause Daddy is a [G]gamblin' man,
[D]but Mama lov[G]es him still

[Verse 3]
[C]Mama said ""Love comes
[Em]with a price""
It's a turn of the [Am]cards,
it's a roll of [D]the dice

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][C][G][Am][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
She's always [G]waiting when
he comes back home
She tries to hide the tears as he says ""My Dear,
[D]the money's all gone""
But as [C]he lay [G]sleeping,
she goes to pawn her wed[C]ding [G]band[Am]
And bring him back [G]the [D]money
and pray for [G]a decent hand

[Verse 5]
She prays that their [G]luck will change,
but knows it prob'ly nev[C]er [G]will[C][Am]
'Cause Daddy is a [G]gamblin' man,
[D]but Mam[C]a loves him still
