Billie Joe And Norah – Roving Gambler chords

Intro: G

G          I am a roving gambler I gambled all around

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
  C            GI lay my money down
                   CLay my money down, lay my money down

GI had not been in Washington many more weeks than three

I met up with a pretty little girl
    C                 GShe fell in love with me
                      CFell in love with me, fell in love with me

GShe took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in her mother's ear
  C                  GI love that gambling man
                        CLove that gambling man, love that gambling man

GOh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?

Leave your dear old mother
    C              GAnd with a gambler go
                   CWith a gambler go, with a gambler go

GMy mother oh dear mother you can not understand

If you ever see me a coming back
     C                  GI'll be with a gambling man
                     CWith a gambling man, with a gambling man

GI left her here in El Paso and I wound up in Maine

I met up with a gambling man
C              GGot in a poker game
                     CGot in a poker game, got in a poker game

GWe put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around

I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
      C                 GAnd I shot that gambler down
                       CShot the gambler down, shot the gambler down

GWell, now I'm in the jailhouse got a number for my name

The Warden said as he locked the door
      C                  GYou've gambled your last game
                        CGambled your last game, gambled your last game

GI am a roving gambler I gambled all around

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
  C            GI lay my money down
                   CLay my money down, lay my money down
