A5
Lord hear my prayer
E5
Look down on me
D5                     A5
I'm not as wealthy as I used to be
     B5                   F#5
It's not even ten and I'm busted again
D5                       E5
Why does this happen to me?
A5
Give me a sign
E5
Show me you care
D5                              A5
A straight to the Ace Lord, or even a pair
        B5                     F#5
I can't make it alone and I'll sink like a stone
       D5                      E5
Unless you can undo what I've done


   D5                       A5
So Lord lift me up in your tender embrace
D5                         A5
Lend me your wisdom , your strength and your grace
D5          A5     A5          Ab5 F#5
Help me to smash my opponent's fat   face
        D5            E5             A5   E5
Oh Lord help me take money from my friends

A5 E5 Eaug

A5
Deep down I know
          E5
That it's only a game
    D5                      A5
But I want them shaking in terror and shame
          B5
It's just poker and beer
        F#5
Still I need them to fear me Lord
D5                       E5
It's not enough just to win

D5                           A5
Deal me good cards and I'll handle the math
D5                            A5
We'll take their money while they take a bath
     D5            A?(x01212)    A5         Ab5 F#5
I'll show them my hand and you'll show them your  wrath
        D5            E5             A5   E5   
 E5
Oh Lord help me take money from my friends

F#5                 C#aug (x4322x)***
And I don't want to cheat them
A5                       B5
Because I know that's a sin

(fingerpick on D string: 2,3)

F#5              C#aug
I just want to defeat them
            A5           B5
And make it hurt when I win
        D5           E5     Eaug
Make it hurt when I win...


   A5
So poke them with sticks
    E5
And crush them with stones
D5                          A5
Chew them up good Lord and spit out their bones
     B5                     F#5
Make my riches grow and let those bitches know
         D5                       E5
That you hate them and love only me
D5                      A5
Burn it all down until nothing survives
D5                        A5
Make them regret for the rest of their lives
    D5             A5      A5        Ab5 F#5
The day that they bet their dogs and their wives
        D5            E5
Oh Lord help me take money from
D5            E5
Help me take money from
D5            E5             A5    E5   A5   
  A5
Help me take money from my friends
