Intro
A
[Verse 1]
A D
He said, "Pardon me for being so bold,
A
But you got a cigarette that's already rolled?"
D A
I gave him one, he lit it in his own good time
A D
The smoke in that poolroom hung like a fog
A
When he talked, he sounded like a growling dog
D A
He said, "Would you care for a dollar on the five or the nine?"
A D
Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean
A
His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean
D A
He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of a child
A D
Well, I've been known to hustle a few
A
When the waitress said, "Is he playing you?"
D A
And I said, "Yeah. Bring me brandy, water by."
A#
[Verse 2]
A# D#
Well, Little Red Parker was way in the back
A#
Taking quarters and handling racks
D# A#
And I told him, "Red, come up here. Glue 'em up tight."
A# D#
That brandy had me feeling warm
A#
I tipped that waitress and I checked her form
D# A#
And I said, "Honey, you like a winner?" and she just smiled
A# D#
I played like a man with a broken wrist
A#
I won two and he won six
D# A#
And I had him set up so I said, "Let's play for five."
A# D#
By this time a crowd had gathered around
A#
To see this fish and just watch him drown
D# A#
I told that waitress, "More brandy, water by."
B
[Verse 3]
B E
Then he went out and got a custom cue
B
He said, "It's no offense to you,
E B
But I don't play off the wall with nobody but friends."
B E
It had gold initials and a leather grip
B
Pearl and silver inlaid tip
E B
He smiled at me and he said, "Why don't we play for ten?"
B E
Well, I never seen a man that walk
B
Who made those balls and table talk
E B
They're speaking English, he sure didn't need my help
B E
He broke the balls and kept that string
B
For a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring
E B
'Til I gave up and said, "Friend, you're gonna have to play by yourself."
C
[Verse 4]
C F
Well, he sacked it up and he walked outside
C
And I strolled out just to watch him ride
F C
And there was a blonde in that Caddy built like the rest of that car
C F
The boys in the poolroom, they had 'em laughing
C
And I hung it up and just let it pass
F C
And didn't have a thing but my elbows to put on the bar
C F
And the waitress smiled, said, "Water by?"
C
I took the charity and I thanked her twice
F C
And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought
C F
Unlucky gambler and lucky in love
C
Guess you know what I was thinking of
F C
When I said, "Waitress, honey, what time do you get off?"
