As recorded by Sam Barber (From the 2024 Album RESTLESS MIND) [Intro] Em G D Am Em G D Am [Verse 1]
      Em     G
I'm a gambler

     D              Am
Come on, deal me a hand

     Em                  G              D  Am
I'll take your money and show you who I am

       Em    G
I'm an addict

            D                    Am
I've smoked everything under the sun

     Em           G                D    Am
Just hold it in until your mind is numb

      Em   G
I'm a poet

      D                 Am       Em                     G                     D  Am
Write every damn word I sing how long until they try to take it all away from me

      Em     G
I'm a cowboy

      D                 Am
I was born out on these plains

         Em                   G            D
There is red white and blue embedded in my veins
[Chorus]
C          G          D                      Em            C
I'm just a man that's been through more than he can hardly stand

             G   D                 Em
I know who I am, see I'll live and die by this brand

C       G         D                 Em              C
I'll be damned if you think you can buy me off this land

        G           D                                     Em
No city man's gonna take it unless it's from my cold dead hands
[Interlude] G D Am Em G D Am [Verse 2]
      Em     G
I'm a sinner

   D            Am          Em                 G                D     Am
Go on get me a gun and I'll bury that son of a bitch where he belongs

      Em    G
I'm a rider

     D                Am
Been damn near everywhere

    Em            G                  D    Am
See I got a story for every scar and tear

     Em G   D      Am           Em                    G                     D      Am
Come closer if you dare but the last one who tried to cheat me is under the stairs

       Em   G     D                Am
Got an anger with plenty left to spare

    Em          G                D
Cut me down and son I'll make it fair
[Chorus]
C          G          D                      Em            C
I'm just a man that's been through more than he can hardly stand

             G   D                 Em
I know who I am, see I'll live and die by this brand

C       G         D                 Em              C
I'll be damned if you think you can buy me off this land

        G           D                                     Em   G  D
No city man's gonna take it unless it's from my cold dead hands

Am                Em   G D Am
From my cold dead hands
[Outro]
      Em      G
I'm a gambler

     D             Am
Come on, deal me a hand

Em                       G            D    Am  Em
I'll take your money and show you who I am
