[Intro]
G A D G D
[Verse 1]
G El Viejo, friend of mine A D I think you left us just in time G They're outta vodka, no more wine A D I think you left us just in time
[Verse 2]
G You know I hate to see you leave A D But it ain't no secret you believed G You was meant for earlier days A D Wilder times and a freer range
[Verse 3]
G So old compadre Lord I know A D You was likely glad to go G I hope it's easier in time A D For those of us you left behind
[Chorus]
N.C. G They ain't dealin' blackjack down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore A D And they'd wanna pay you six to five and that ain't hardly worth playin' for G All's I seen was slot machines from wall to wall the whole casino floor A D Nobody hittin' seventeen playin' against the dealer that's for sure
[Interlude]
D G A D
[Verse 4]
G Mi amigo, mon ami A D Elko blues, indeed G You know we did the best we could A D But the shine was off the wood
[Verse 5]
G We played up most all of your songs A D But with you and Don and Baxter gone G That sure leaves some boots to fill A D And I'm not sure we ever will
[Verse 6]
G But on a slightly brighter side A D The Outside Circle guys G They're still tearin' up the Star A D And Capriola's ain't that far
[Chorus]
N.C. G They ain't dealin' blackjack down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore A D And they'd wanna pay you six to five and that ain't hardly worth playin' for G All's I seen was slot machines from wall to wall the whole casino floor A D Nobody hittin' seventeen and worse yet the Commercial's closed its doors A D G A D G D Nobody hittin' seventeen playin' against the dealer rest assured
[Outro]
N.C. G El Viejo, friend of mine A D I think you left us just in time
