     G                Fadd9
The fate of a roving gambler
     G                D5
Is waiting down the bloodthirsty highway
     G                         Fadd9
The highway is my home, I’m a rambler
       G               D5          G
And I have to pay the devil every day

       G                                Fadd9   G
Now if I should owe a friend a million dollars
             D5           G
He knows my guarantee is sound
    G                         Fadd9
If we should get hijacked by robbers
            G            D5          G
There’d be no big money laying all around


C
          Csus4  C      G
I may be gone   to the devil
    G                         Dm/F
But I ain’t rollin’ over for you
    G                           Fadd9
If you’ve got a pistol in your pocket
             G    D5     G
I’ve got my .38 Special too


| G | Fadd9 | G D5 | G | x2


         G                             Fadd9
Are you dancing for the payers of the piper’
         G                    D5               G
Are you jumping through your party hoops for them’
     G                     Fadd9
You won’t see any nine to fivers
        G            D5             G
At the tables of my poker playing friends

    G                            Fadd9
So take your politician or your banker
 G                  D5               G
Take your friendly health insurance man
   G                        Fadd9
I never met a cold hearted gambler
       G           D5               G
Could carry off a hustle like they can


C
          Csus4  C      G
I may be gone   to the devil
      G                        Dm/F
But I ain’t rollin’ over for you
    G                           Fadd9
If you’ve got a pistol in your pocket
             G    D5     G
I’ve got my .38 Special too
