[Intro] B7 A7 E7 A7 E7 B7 [Verse 1]
              E                 E7
I'm gettin' tired of runnin' ‘round

                   A7                     
Believe I'll get married and I’ll settle down

                   E        C#7
Because this old night life

               A7            B7
This mean old sportin' life

                      E  A7  E  B7
You know it's killing me
[Verse 2]
              E              E7
And I got a letter from my home

                       A7
And most of my good friends
They are dead and gone
                      E    C#7
You know it makes me worry

             A7    B7
No need to wonder

                    E  A7  E  B7
About the times to come
[Verse 3]
                    E                    E7
And Mother used to fall on her knees and pray

                   A7                
And these are the very words she did say

               E  C#7           A7  B7
She said "Oh Johnny, my lovin' Johnny...

                    E               A7  E  B7
Won't you please change your ways"

            E                  E7
I been a gambler and a cheater too

              A7          
Now it's come my time to lose

                 E          C#7
Cause this old sportin' life

                            A7      B7
You know she's holdin' the best hand

               E  A7  E  B7
And what can I do...
[Verse 5]
                    E               E7
Cause I'm gettin' tired of runnin' round

                  A7                     
Believe I'll get married and I’ll settle down

                   E        C#7
Because this old night life

        A7     B7
It's a bad life

                 E   A7  E  E7
And it's killing me
