       A                                        D
You’ve got to have an ace in the hole. A little secret that nobody
A      D                   A           F#            B
knows. Life is a gamble, a game we all play, but you need to save

            A      D                A        F#    B
you want to go. In money or love or all the above, have a little
                   E7         A                          D
more than what you show. When life deals out a surprise. Have a few

you’ve got to have and ace in the hole.
