A D
I've played cards in England
A
I've gambled in Spain
A D
Goin back to Carolina
A
Gonna play my last game
A D
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
A
I've known you from old
A D
You've robbed my poor pockets
E A
Of silver and gold
[Verse 2]
A D
Gonna eat when I'm hungry
A
Gonna drink when I'm dry
A D
Get to feelin much better
A
Gonna sprout wings and fly
A D
Gonna take down my fiddle
A
Gonna rosin up the bow
A D
Gonna make myself welcome
E A
wherever I go
[Chorus]
A D
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
A
I've known you from old
A D
You've robbed my poor pockets
E A
Of silver and gold
[Verse 3]
A D
Gonna drink, gonna gamble
A
All my money is my own
A D
Them that don't like me
A
Can leave me alone
A D
Gonna beat on the counter
Gonna make the glass ring
A D
More brandy, more brandy
E A
More brandy to bring
[Verse 4]
A D
If the river was whiskey
A
And I was a duck
A D
I'd dive to the bottom
A
And never come up
A D
But the river ain't whiskey
And I ain't no duck
A D
I'll play these drunkard's hiccups
E A
And trust to my luck
