His heart was hard and [C] cold like ice.
He was a wild, reckless gambler, [B] one of light and shade.
And many a gambler's heart [Em] he left in pain.
[C] He lost all his money, [B] he was all alone.
His heart was hard and [Bm] cold like stone.

I [F#] don't say the crapshooters won't revoke me, [B] my life has been a tug-on-cart.
[E] Send both the [Em] players to the graveyard, [B] dig my grave with the ace [Em] of spades.
I want twelve policemen in my funeral [B] march, the sheriff [Em] leads a parade.
I [F#] want the judge and jury jailed me fourteen times, [Em] put a pair of dice in my shoe.
Let a [C#m] deck of [Em] cards be my tombstone, [C] I got the dying [Em] crapshooters loose.
