This is a way to play it in the same key of A, but with a capo and some easier chords.

Capo on 2nd Fret

         Am             G                Am               Em 
My daddy was a handsome gambler he had a chain five miles long
          C   Am           D                  C    Am           D
On every link a heart gets dangled of another maid he loved and wronged
           Am              G                   Am                    Em 
He told to you some loving story He'd make you think he'd leave them true
               C    Am            D               C    Am           D
But love grows cold as love grows older and fades away like morning dew


           Am              G                Am             Em 
I'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun refused to shine
        C    Am      D                  C      Am                 D
Than to live here in Missouri with your memory always haunting my mind
            Am              G                   Am                  Em 
Come all ye fair and tender ladies take warning how your court your man
               C    Am          D
They're like a star on a summer morning 
           C      Am                D
First they appear then they're gone again


Am G Am Em C Am D C Am D

            Am              G                   Am                  Em 
Come all ye fair and tender ladies take warning how your court your man
               C    Am          D
They're like a star on a summer morning 
           C      Am                D
First they appear then they're gone again
