Gamblin Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Gillian Welch
         G                           C
I met a gamblin' man,  I cooled him with my fan
      Em                             D                   C
He'd just come in from Carroll, but only for a night or two
           G                        C
And he was on a roll, shining like Pharaoh's gold. He said
            Em                           D                    G
Why don'cha put your little hand in the hand of the Gamblin' Man

          Em         C            G            D          Em          C            D     C
Now if I lose, if I lose, let me lose, let me lose.  If I lose, if I lose, let me lose.

              G                               C
So I went to Mama's house, yeah she tried to talk me out
        Em                         D               C
As she broke down hard 'bout the houses in New Orleans
                    G                                C 
She said you gotta listen Pearl, Hey you're just a Jackson girl
               Em                          D                    G
Now don't you put your little hand in the hand of the Gamblin' Man

          Em         C            G            D          Em          C            D     C
Now if I lose, if I lose, let me lose, let me lose.  If I lose, if I lose, let me lose.

             G                                    C
And when my Dad got home, and gathered what was going on
            Em                           D                     C
There was something in the color of his eyes went from sky to sea
                       G                                           C
He said he's going to treat you sweet and then he'll leave you on Bourbon Street
              Em                           D                    G
Now don't you put your little hand in the hand of the Gamblin' Man

          Em         C            G            D           Em         C            D         
But if I lose, if I lose, let me lose, let me lose.  If I lose, if I lose, let me lose.
     C                   G      D        
But maybe I'm a gambler too

                           G                                C
And that's why I love the Gamblin' man, I love to cool him with my fan
             Em                            D                C                           
There ain't nothing in this world makes a girl feel like a queen  Yeahhh
              G                             C 
And when he's on a roll, and shining like Pharaoh's gold
          Em                         D                    C
I'm gonna put my little hand in the hand of the Gamblin' Man   Heyyyyyy
          Em                         D                    G       
I'm gonna put my little hand in the hand of the Gamblin' Man
