Impala Ray - The Gambler

      [Intro]
F C G Am

[Verse 1]
F           C                      Am
he stumbled backwards through the door
F           C                      Am
he smelled of gin and cold cold smoke
F           C                      Am
his wife and kids feared nothing more
F           C                      Am
this night his ship has left the shore

[Chorus]
F           C               G
no one else could feel his pain
            Am
he lost the game once more again
F           C       Am
the tide is coming in

[Verse 2]
F           C                   Am
sweat ran down his furrowed face
F           C                Am
he shivered like an earthquake
F           C          Am
once he was full of grace
F           C                 Am
but the benjamins took his faith

[Chorus]
F           C               G
no one else could feel his pain
             Am
he lost the game once more again
F           C        Am
the tide is coming in
F           C          G
he left his home as a man
           Am
now he needs a helping hand
F           C          Am
come back home like a man

[Bridge]
G                             Am
he didn't know how this could happen
G                     Am
he didn't know a way out
G                          Am
so he left them with a weapon
G                             Am
and birds rose up through the clouds

[Chorus]
F           C          G
no one else could feel his pain
             Am
he lost the game once more again
F           C          Am
the tide is coming in
F           C          G
he left his home as a man
             Am
now he needs a helping hand
F           C          Am
come back home like a man

[Outro]
F           C          G
he left his home as a man
             Am
now he needs a helping hand
F           C          Am
come back home like a man
