Chords

[Intro] C G7 C [Verse 1]
  C
I thought I was a gambler, broke ev'ry shark in town

 F            C
Until I met a rounder

    D7               G7
Who called all I put down

   E7                    Am
We laid the cards on the table

 F         B        C
He drew an ace high hand

D7                   G7
He bet his watch and I called it

    A7            D7     G7
And lost my money like a man
[Chorus]
              C
I've got them polka dot blues, oh, them polka dot blues

                               A7             D7  G7
Lost my hat and my coat and my straight-laced shoes

C                              A7
Sold my watch and went back to lose

    D7                G7        C
The mean old gambling polka dot blues
[Interlude] C G7 C [Verse 2]
       C
Now my gal had plenty, so I got twenty, then went back and sat down

F                                 C
I got a four but I thought it was more

   D7                  G7
as we dealt the cards around

E7                    Am
I set the deck on the table

F       B           C
bet him all I could stand

D7                 G7
I turned it over a measly four

   A7          D7       G7
he had another ace high hand
[Chorus]
              C
I've got them polka dot blues, oh, them polka dot blues

                               A7             D7  G7
Lost my hat and my coat and my straight-laced shoes

C                              A7
Sold my watch and went back to lose

    D7                G7        C
The mean old gambling polka dot blues
