Nine Ball Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G][C]
[Em][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I don't wanna bet but my [D]father wrote a check
That I [G]bet his ass could never [C]cash
He's [Em]betting on the eight ball
[D]landing in the side wall
[G]Cold-blooded killer if you [C]ask
But [Em]every night he needs me
to [D]land himself a red three
[G]Corner pocket at 12 a.[C]m
[Em]Only 12 years old but [D]I got a hold
of a [G]pole stick I was gifted from [C]him

[Chorus 1]
My father is a [Em]betting [D]man
But I got myself a [G]steady [C]hand
He's sitting in the [Em]corner
with a six pack of [D]Corona
Betting that his son'll [G]win [C]again

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][G][C]
[Em][D][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Go [Em]bet another six pack
[D]Bet I make a comeback
[G]I know that this table's got a l[C]ean
[Em]Won't you take me fishin', and I [D]wanna try out
For the [G]seventh grade football [C]team
You'll [Em]probably be nothing
but this [D]town's old drunkard
And [G]die on a smoke stained [C]stool
Right [Em]now he's got a bargain
that he's [D]taken too far
On his [G]boys game of nine-ball [C]pool

[Chorus 2]
My father was a [Em]betting [D]man
But I got myself a [G]steady [C]hand
He's sitting in the [Em]corner
with a six pack of [D]Corona
Betting that his son'll [G]win [C]again
My father [Em]was a betting [D]man
[G][C]

[Solo 1]
[Em][D][G][C]
[Em][D][G][C]

[Chorus 3]
My father was a [Em]betting [D]man
But I got myself a [G]steady [C]hand
He's sitting in the [Em]corner
with a six pack of Co[D]rona
Betting that his son'll [G]win [C]again

[Outro 1]
[Em]I don't wanna bet
but my [D]daddy wrote a check
That I [G]bet his ass could never [C]cash
He's [Em]betting on the eight ball
[D]landing in the side wall
[G]Cold-blooded killer if you [C]ask
