You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold. 

The stakes may be heavy or small. But if you haven't gambled for  

love and lost, you haven't gambled at all. 
 

C5                           F5                C5 
They call me a moonlight gambler 
A5                                  E5 
I've gambled for love and lost 
F5                          C5         F5                         C5 
When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards 
F5                   G5                      F5    G5 
Oh, what heartaches it can cost me 
 

C5                           F5                C5 
Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler 
A5                       F5                G5 
And a winner is what I long to be 
F5                       C5         F5                        C5 
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live 
F5                   G5           F5                 C5 
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
