Introdução: G C D G C G D G
G C
I wanted more from life, than four kids and a wife
G D G
And a job in a dark Kentucky mine.
C
A twenty acre farm, with a shackey house and barn
G D G
Thats all I had and all I left behind
G C
But at gambling, I was lucky, and so I left Kentucky
G D G
And left behind my woman and my kids
G C
Into the gay casinos, of Nevada's town of Reno
G D G
This Kentucky Gambler planned to get rich quick
G C D G
Kentucky gambler who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky
C G D G
Yeah and who's going to be the one to give her all she needs.
G C D G
Kentucky gambler, who's going to raise your children in Kentucky
C G D G
And who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet
G C
There at the gambler's Paradise, Lady luck was on my side
G D G
and this Kentucky gambler played just right
G C
Yeah I won at everything I played - I really thought I had it made
G D G
But I should have quit and gone on home that night
G C
But when you love the green backed dollar, sorrow always bound tofollow
G D G
and Reno's dreams fade into neon amber
G
And Lady Luck, she'll lead you on
C
She'll stay a while, and then she's gone
G D G
You better go on home, Kentucky gambler
G C
But a gambler never seems to stop, till he loses all he's got
G D G
and with a money - hungry fever, I played on
G C
I played till I'd lost all I'd won, I was right back where I'd started from.
G D G
Then I started wanting - to go home
G C D G
Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody, waiting in Kentucky
C G D G
When I ran out, somebody else walked in
G C D G
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
C G D G
And it seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins
D G
much more than he wins.
