Aces Straights And Flushes

C                                 
Aces, straights and flushes, 
      F
that's the game my daddy played
       G                        
If the gambling went to morning, 
            G7            C
that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with
     F
 the money that he made
    G                           
And aces, straights and flushes, 
            G7            C
that's the game my daddy played


                          F
Some say that daddy was a good for 
nothing man
    G                              
But he'd come home each morning 
      G7           C
with the money in his hand
There was chicken on the table and 
    F
the rent was always paid
           G7
From those aces, straights and 
flushes
                         C
That's the game my daddy played


CHORUS:
Aces, straights and flushes, that's 
    F
the game my daddy played

       G                        
If the gambling went to morning, 
            G7            C
that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with
     F
 the money that he made
    G                           
And aces, straights and flushes, 
            G7            C
that's the game my daddy played


                               F
Oh mama, she ran off with some fast 
talking man
    G                              
And daddy took to gambling just to 
G7              C
feed our little clan
Sometimes it was blackjack and 
F
sometimes seven stud
    G7
But aces, straights, and flushes
                          C
Well, they ran in daddy's blood


CHORUS:
Aces, straights and flushes, that's 
    F
the game my daddy played
       G                        
If the gambling went to morning, 
            G7            C
that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with
     F
 the money that he made
    G                           
And aces, straights and flushes, 
            G7            C
that's the game my daddy played


                              F
Then came the time that daddy played
 his biggest game
        G                      
For the love of a woman and the 
 G7            C
honour of her name
And when the smoke had cleared and 
    F
the cards had all been played
   G7                              
My daddy gave up gambling and took 
           C
up the trombone


CHORUS:
Aces, straights and flushes, that's 
    F
the game my daddy played
       G                        
If the gambling went to morning, 
            G7            C
that's how late my daddy stayed
He bought shoes for all us kids with
     F
 the money that he made
    G                           
And aces, straights and flushes, 
            G7            C
that's the game my daddy played
