Chords

Colter plays this song - as usual - two half steps down with Capo on 2, you can play it in standard tuning without Capo though as well. [Intro] G C G G/F# Em D7 G [Verse 1]
G                            C
Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer

        G             Em                   D
For you know that the odds won't ride with you

          G                                 C
And never leave your woman alone, when your friends are out to steal her

          G                            D  G
She'll be gambled and gone like summer wages
[Verse 2]
G                     G7          C
And we'll keep rollin on, 'til we get to Vancouver

        G           Em                 D
And the lady that I love, she's living there

          G                   C
It's been six long months and more since I've seen her

           G                             D  G
She may be gambled and gone, like summer wages
[Chorus]
   D                     C           G
In all the beer parlors, down around main street

    G      G/F#   Em               C                   G
The dreams of the seasons, get all spilled down on the floor

        D                     C               G
All the big stands of timber, waiting for the falling

        G                Em           C              D
And the hookers standing watchfully , waiting by the door
[Verse 3]
        G                             C
So I'll work on the towboats, with my slippery city shoes

             G             Em             D
Which lord I swore I would never do that again

            G                                 C
Through the gray fog bound straits, where the cedars stand a watching

        G                            D  G
I'll be far off and gone like summer wages
[Interlude] G C G G/F# Em D7 G C G D G [Chorus]
   D                     C           G
In all the beer parlors, down around main street

    G      G/F#   Em               C                   G
The dreams of the seasons, get all spilled down on the floor

        D                     C               G
All the big stands of timber, waiting for the falling

        G                Em           C              D
And the hookers standing watchfully , waiting by the door
[Verse 1]
      G                      C
Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer

        G             Em                   D
For you know that the odds won't ride with you

          G                                 C
And never leave your woman alone, when your friends are out to steal her

          G                            D  G
She'll be gambled and gone like summer wages

C         G           Em               D  G
Years are gambled and gone like summer wages
