Charley Crockett – Spade (Guitar)

Am
"I'm called a spade

   Dm
My mind has done been made"

Am                      E7
That's what the man, he said

        Am
Then he threw his money down

         Dm
And they passed the cards around

Am              E          Am
This weren't no children's game

Am
He said his name

    Dm
Was just a passin' thing

Am                       E7
While I looked at him confused

      Am
But I soon knew what he meant

     Dm
With his revolver spent

Am E          Am
On everything but me

Am
Just then he laughed

    Dm
And handed me a bag

Am                              E7
Said, "Could you fill it for me please?"

        Am
Then we rode all night long

            Dm
Through the dark into the dawn

Am        E            Am
Before we finally took our rest

Am
Said he'd come in

Dm
From Galveston

Am                        E7
That troubled city by the gulf

            Am
He said, "I knew your sister well

        Dm
So when I saw you I could tell

Am      E              Am
By that ribbon on your sleeve"

Am
"I'm sorry to say

     Dm
Your sister's passed away

Am                        E7
I seen it with my own two eyes

          Am
And those same evil men

    Dm
Who killed my closest kin

Am        E             Am
They were sittin' there by you"

Am
"Listen to me

Dm
Life is misery

Am                      E7
Trouble's always on the way

       Am
And if I were you

Dm
I know what I'd do

Am              E                Am
Because they're sure to fall the spade"
