INTRO:
A  E  A  E

A                       E
Go ahead and drink your whiskey
A                                E
Run around and stay high all the time
A                       E
It's your body and your soul
A                            E
You save yours and I'll save mine
A                  E
A man should never gamble
A                  E
A man should never gamble
A                  E
A man should never gamble
C#m                       E

A                     E 
You can make your own rules
A                         E
Shoot the dice and wear a blindfold
A                             A
You're not afraid to look the fool
A                  E
A man should never gamble

A man should never gamble
