[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][E]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]Hello, my babe,
I'm back to stay
You're sure wearing fine
pretty [G]things
But where is your ring, your ring and chain
I [F]gave you last summer
in the [C]fallin' rain?

[Verse 2]
"Your [Am]ring," she said,
[E]"you've been gone so long
I [Am]gave your ring [E]away
[Am]I met a man, a g[G]amblin' man
[F]Said he would buy me the [Am]Milky Way"

[Verse 3]
[C]Away, away, I've been away
I've been so many [G]miles
Where is the smile that
once lit your face?
[F]It seems a tear has [C]taken
is place

[Verse 4]
[Am]"My smile," she sighed,
[E]with a look a little wild
[Am]"My smile it is pos[E]sessed
[Am]I met a man, a g[G]amblin' man
[F]Said he would buy me [Am]happiness"

[Interlude 1]

[G][F][E][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]I never, I never
You know I never
I never had much to [G]give
But I gave you my heart
Now where is your heart?
It was [F]all that I had from the
[C]very start

[Verse 6]
[Am]"My heart," she cried,
" It [E]has been bought"
She [Am]looked at me with [E]fear
"I [Am]married that man,
that [G]gamblin' man
Who'd [Am]shoot you if he found

[Outro 1]
you here"
[Am][G][F][E][Am]
