[Verse 1]
        C                       Dm
There's a solitary man crying  
   C
"Hold me"
                         Dm    C
It's only because he's a-lonely
                              Dm C
If the keeper of time runs slowly
                           Dm  C
He won't be alive for long!

[Chorus 1]
      F                            
If he only had time to tell of all 
              C         Dm C
of the things he planned
       G
With a card up his sleeve  what 
would he achieve?
         F       C/E  G/D  G
It means nothing!

[Verse 2]
       C                        Dm
To the opium dens and the barroom 
   C
gin
                              Dm  C
In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a 
Dm   C
grin
                                Dm 
As he lays down the king of spades

[Chorus 2]
        F
But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here  he 
    C  Dm  C
thinks
    G
The gambler is seized and forced to 
his knees
    F   C/E      G/D G
And shot.......... Dead

        F
He only wanted more time
               C           Dm  C
Away from the darkest door
        G
But his luck it gave in  as the dawn
 light crept in
       F   C/E    G/D G
And he lay on the floor

[Verse 3]
C                                
From the Hundred Year War to the 
Dm   C
Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a 
Dm    C
roman spear
To all of the men who have stood 
     Dm   C
with no fear
                          Dm  C
In the service of the King

[Chorus 3]
  F
Before you met your fate be sure you
        C       Dm  C
Did not forsake
     G                 F    
Your lover  may not be around 
  C/E G/D  G
anymore
