Key: D
Introduction:
Dm
The devil went down to the river
G F Am G
And he came to fall to lose it all
C Am G F Dm
To fool the fool too quick to call
Dm
While the gambler's stacks grew bigger
G F Am G
He had lost his sights through narrowed eyes
C Am G F Dm
Too tempted by his wry desires
Gm F Am G
Damned across fated paths
Gm F Am G Dm
The time to fold had come to pass
Dm
verse 2
Dm
With gambler's glory delivered
G F Am G
He had thirst for more a bigger score
C Am G F Dm
A trophy no one could ignore
Dm
And the devil's wealth had withered
G F Am G C
So with cunning class he offered fast his soul
Am G F Dm
The wager had been cast
Gm F Am G
The gambler called, the river fell
Gm F Am G Dm
And now the hand from out of hell
Gm F Am G
The devil smiled, looked in his eyes
Gm F Am G Dm
He knew the loss was glorified

verse 3
Dm F
The devil said "Revel in your victory
Dm
You've earned your damning, pack your things and leave."
Bb
But, the gambler only stood and stuttered
Dm
Stammering on words in disbelief
F
"Now you've won a new vocation
Dm
Pray to me that you can stand the heat!"
Bb
And that, the gambler saw
Dm
Meant he had gone and finally set the devil free
Chorus 3
Gm F Am G
Damned across fated paths
Gm F Am G
The hand he played would be his last
Gm D Gm D
Who am I?
Bb Am D
Who am I?
Cm D Gm D Gm
Just a gambler, holding aces in the devil's eyes?
Gm D Gm D
What is wrong?
Bb Am D
What's the sin?
D Dbm Cm Cm/G D D/A Gm D Gm
Where's the answer? Where the hell do I fit in?
Cm Gm
Or could it be, there's just a little demon lost in the debris
Ab D
And I, should idly bide my time until a wager releases me?
Eb D
Hey!
Gm D Eb
It can't remain unknown...
