C                     F      C
I turn your hole card upside down 

                          D7       G7
I caught you cheatin and runnin around

There's a smile upon your face

       C               A7    
While another takes my place

           DM        G7            C
And now at last dear the truth I'd found

Verse 2

C                          F              C
Babe there's a green light you're free to go 

                     D7            G7
You take a high road I'll take the low

Now here's your coat and shoes

             C        A7
and don't forget your blues

          DM        G7              C
You're on canoe now you'll have to row

Babe there's a green light so shift your gears

                          D7       G7
I know you fooled me for all these years

I'll hold my head up high

       C              A7
and forget you by and by

                DM       G7         C
And there'll be laughter instead of tears

C                          F            C
Babe there's a green light kick up your heels

                        D7          G7
There'll come a day you know how it feels

To have your aces trumped

       C           A7
and be taken for a chump

              DM          G7              C
Now there's a green light    so spin your wheels

Babe there's a green light kick up your heels

                        D7          G7
There'll come a day you know how it feels

To have your aces trumped

       C           A7
and be taken for a chump

              DM          G7              C
Now there's a green light    so spin your wheels
