Tom: D
Introdução:
D
I?m what you?d call a bettin? man
C
And I live from pay to pay
G C
I?m a high card stud of mongrel blood
D
And a zero on the day
D
Well I?m no sage nor soothsayer
C
nor arbiter of truth
G C
I?m high on risk and low on temper
D
And long in the tooth
C Em Bm D
I?m wide awake on the losing end of it
G D C
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
G D E
With a Whistle and a Grin
C D G
With a Whistle and a Grin

D
A buxom belle with a surefire tell
C
Was barking up my tree
G C
I couldn?t take her money
D
She was making eyes at me
D
Oh so fine with a low neck line
C
Reckless fast and loose
G C
She giggled as she drew me in
D
And tightened up the noose,
D
yeah she tightened up the noose

D
I used the brain between my legs
C
Threw in the kitchen sink
G C
That painted up bamboozler
D
left me staring in my drink
D
To plumb the depths inside my head
C
but I can't seem to find
G C
The morale of the story
D
or a little piece of mind

Just a little piece of mind
