Gamblin' With My Love (Pete Rose) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[Em]l, was[G] writing a play
about Pete [Em]Rose
and Bart Tiamati.
[C]It takes place in a Motel 6
just [Em]out side of C[D]incinnati.
[Em]There's a table [C]and a bottle
of whiskey.
They're [Em]drinking
but they light a cigarette first.
[C]Pete Rose looks terrible,
[D]Tiamati looks worse.
T -Money [G]says, Pete,
be straight with me,
have you been [Em]gambling on games?
[C]Pete says, Commissioner,
where I come from,
[Em]we bet [D]on everything
[C]He says, let's get to the point, Pete,
did you ever bet on your [Em]own team?
Not [C]sure what Pete's gonna reply,
[Em]but [D]I think I'll have a telephone ring
It's gonna be [G]shoeless Joe Jackson,
[Em]calling from ten years
Says, [C]Commissioner,
if you don't throw him out,
what have I [D]been doin'
all these years?
Baggin' [C]groceries and
paintin' houses,
havin' a [Em]beggin' steal and rob
[C]He tries to grab the receiver,
he says, I could [D]tell you
stuff about Ty Cobb
[G]Then I hear a knockin',
a [Em]knockin' at my door
It's [C]my sweet Martha and I open up
and she [D]crawls in on the floor
Says, put [C]down your paper and pen,
boy, [Em]I can wait another day
I [C]say, what's wrong?
She grabs my leg, says, [D]all I got to say is
Are [G]you gambling with my love?
Are you [Em]saying you don't care?
Are you [G]gambling with my love
while you [D]sit there in that chair?
Are you gonna [C]gamble?
Are you gonna [Em]gamble?[C][D][G]
I said, girl, I got backers
[Em]I got money people waitin' for this stuff
[C]I got a theater off Broadway
Convinced [D]one act ain't gonna be enough
I said, [C]I'm startin' to
roll with this dialogue
I'm gettin' [Em]inside Pete Rose's head
[C]I said, he can taste the Hall of Fame
She said,
[D]don't you want to taste me instead?
I said, [G]girl, do you understand
that with 4 ,000 hits
a man could [Em]still feel emptiness?
And I'd [C]repeat, Commissioner,
what you got in your hand?
[D]He said, can't you guess?
[C]He said, if I was a betting man,
I'd say you were trying to bluff
me [Em]to my face
[C]Commissioner said, too bad, Jane,
it's good playing the [D]odds,
it's playing second [C]base
[Em]Ooh, ooh, ooh,[C]
[D]Gangly with my [G]love
So she said, what does Mrs. Rose
[Em]have to say about all this?
[C]I said I don't know,
I haven't thought about Mrs. Rose
And I [D]leaned over and gave Martha a kiss
[C]She said you got 2 guys in a hotel room
No [Em]other characters or special effects
I [C]said, there's plenty of drama there
She says, [D]three acts, no sex
She [G]says, there is a Mrs. Rose though
Yeah, I [Em]said, well, yeah, there is, I suppose
She said, [C]well,
what's her chemistry?
What are her specifics?
Does she have [D]a wig?
Does she wear support holes?
I said, [C]baby, you're wearing
me out, I need a break
Well, he [Em]said, we'd turn down the bed
She [C]looks at me, she rolls her eyes
She grabs [D]my pen and says
Are [G]you gamblin' with my love?
Are you [Em]sayin' you don't care?
Are you [G]gamblin' with my love?
Are you sit[D]tin' there in that chair?
Are you gonna [C]gamble?
Are you gonna [Em]gamble?[C]
[D]Gamblin' with my [G]love
So now it goes like this
He [Em]rolls to your mighty old town
Mr[C]s. Rose bursts in and says
Damn it, Peter,
[D]carry your children in my womb
She says, [C]Mr. D 'Amati,
you need this man
[Em]as much as he needs you
She says,
[C]Judge Knight, let's give you judge
Turns to [D]Peter and says
Are you gonna [G]gamble with my love?
Are [Em]you saying you don't care?
Are [G]you gambling with my love?
While you [D]sit there in that chair
Are you gonna [C]gamble?
Are you gonna [Em]gamble?[C]
[D]Gamblin' with my [G]love
Are you gamblin' with my love?
Are you [Em]sayin' you don't care?
Are [G]you gamblin' with my love?
While you [D]sit there in that chair
Are you gonna [C]gamble?
Oh, oh, you're gonna [Em]get in my arms
[C]Can't ru[D]in my [G]love
Oo[C]h, oo[Em]h, ooh
[C]Can't [D]ruin my lov[G]e
Ooh, oo[C]h, ooh
Oo[Em]h, y[C]eah, w[D]here is my love?
[G]
