Intro:   D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D5 - D5


Verse 1:

D5              C5  G5               D5
They built a casino     out under the stars
     D5           A5                      D5
With neon lights blinkin' on tired rusty cars
                    C5  G5                  D5
Card sharks take my money, Whiskey puts me in jail
            A5                  D5
An oasis of misery I know it so well


Verse 2:

                 G5                      D5
I pawned my last silver it sparkled and shined
                A5                             D5
And a beautiful ring from the black hills gold mine
             G5                     D5
A hole in my pocket that money did burn
          A5                  D5
A loser beyond the point of return

Verse 3:

                  G5                    D5
My woman couldn't take my Friday night ways
               A5                   D5
She left me in search of her better days
                  G5                    D5
Now I'm tortured by silence and being alone
                   A5                   D5
And the shadows of evil that inherit my bones


Verse 4:

                  G5                          D5
So it's back to the place where I gambled on hope
               A5                   D5
My name once respected is now but a joke
                     G5                D5
Cause I stumble back home, I murmur a prayer
                   A5                   D5
And can't help but wonder is God really there
