G        F           C         G
Stake my future on a hell of a past

G            F           C         G
Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast

G        F              C      G
Ain't complaining about what I got

G           F         C       G
Seen better times but who has not
[Chorus]
G    F  C          G
Silvio, silver and gold

G                  F         C           G
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold

G   F   C       G
Silvio, I gotta go

G        F              C        G
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 2]
G             F         C            G
Honest as the next jade rolling that stone

G             F              C           G
When I come a knockin' don't throw me no bone

G          F           C             G
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home

G            F               C        G
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
[Verse 3]
G             F           C           G
I can snap my fingers and require the rain

G            F            C           G
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again

G            F             C            G
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain

G             F              C       G
And charm the whistle off an evening train
[Chorus]
G    F  C          G
Silvio, silver and gold

G                  F         C           G
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold

Silvio, I gotta go

G        F              C        G
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 4]
G           F           C      G
Give what I got until I got no more

G             F           C        G
I take what I get until I even the score

G          F            C       G
You know I love you and further more

G               F         C           G
When it is time to go you got an open door
[Verse 5]
G               F           C         G
I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain

G                  F       C             G
You give something up for ev'rything you gain

G            F                C       G
Since ev'ry pleasure's got an edge of pain

G            F          C     G
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
[Chorus]
G    F  C          G

Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 6]
G            F           C        G
One of these days and it won't be long

G              F          C       G
Going down the valley and sing my song

G              F        C       G
I will sing it loud and sing it strong

G            F               C        G
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
[Chorus]
G    F  C          G
Silvio, silver and gold

G                  F         C           G
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold

G   F   C       G
Silvio, I gotta go

G        F              C        G
Find out something only dead men know
