[Verse 1]
C F
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
C Am G
For you know that those odds won't ride with you
C F
And never leave your woman alone, with friends around to steal her
C Am G C
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
[Verse 2]
C F
So we'll keep rollin on, til we get to Vancouver
C Am G
And a woman that I love, is living there
C F
Oh it's been six long months and more since I've seen her
C Am G C
Maybe gambled and lost like summer wages
[Chorus]
G F C
And in all the beer parlors, all down on Young Street
Am F C
The dreams of the seasons, all spilled down on the floor
G F C
All the big stands of timber are ready for falling
Am F G
And the hustlers sitting watchfully, as they wait there by the door
[Verse 3]
C F
So I'll work on the towboats, in my slippery city shoes
C Am G
Which I swore I would never do again
C F
Through the gray fog-bound straits, where the cedars stand watching
C Am G C
I'll be far off and gone, like summer wages
[Chorus]
G F C
And in all the beer parlors, all down along Young Street
Am F C
The dreams of the seasons, spill down on the floor
G F C
All the big stands of timber are ready for falling
Am F G
And the hustlers sitting watchfully, as they wait there by the door
[Verse 4]
C F
For she’s a woman so fine, I might never try to find her
C Am G
For the memories are all we had before
C F
They should never ever be changed, 'cause they’re all that I’ll take with me
C Am G C
Now I’ve gambled and lost my summer wages.
[Verse 5]
C F
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
C Am G
You know that the odds won't ride with you
C F
And never leave your woman alone, with friends around to steal her
C Am G C F C F C F C
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
