"The Gambler"

NOTE: I figured this out with a piano, not a guitar.
It should not make any difference, but I do not know if there is an easier way to play 
it with a capo.
Those are the chords in standard tuning, if you want to play with a capo, you will have 
to transpose it by yourself.

The notes connected with a dash are triplets, the others are played within normal beats.

The notes in the bass line are optional, but they do create a scale downwards from Bb to 
F, which is a nice effect

That should be all you need to know about the song, now play!
