[Verse 1]
D5
Well I lost my shirt at a card game in which I never had a chance
           G5                      D5
Well I lost my shirt at a card game  in which I never had a chance
    A5                                   G5
The deck was marked, the game was rigged
                               D5
You could not tell at a glance

[Verse 2]
D5
Well, Lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the street
               G5                 D5
Well, I lost my job on the weekend  and I was back out on the streets
   A5                   G5                                   D5
No way to get a dollar, but I spent it at the roulette wheel

[Chorus]
F N.C.                  Am N.C.                     D5
Well I walk on hot coals,   sleep on a bed of nails
F N.C.           Am N.C.                  D5
Walk on thin ice,   skate on razor blades
       F N.C.               Em N.C.                      D5
Got my little girl beside me   no matter what else fails

[Verse 3]
D5
Well I spent it all down at the race track

All the way my horse led the field
            G5                      D5
Spent it all down at the race track
D5
All the way my horse led the field
    A5                                G5
But it was a hoax, the mare was doped
                                           D5
A length to win she fell down on her knees

[Verse 4]
D5
Gonna throw away my lucky penny, my rabbit's foot and gypsy ring
       G5                 D5
Throw away my lucky penny,  my rabbit's foot and gypsy ring
    A5                      G5
Not gonna gamble on my baby
                                    D5
This loosing streak I might not win

[Chorus]
F N.C.            Am N.C.                    D5
Walk on hot coals,   sleep on a bed of nails
F N.C.           Am N.C.                  D5
Walk on thin ice,   skate on razor blades
       F N.C.               Em N.C.                      D5
Got my little girl beside me   no matter what else fails
