Intro

[Verse 1]
G# C#
He said, "Pardon me for being so bold,
G#
But you got a cigarette that's already rolled?"
C# G#
I gave him one, he lit it in his own good time
G# C#
The smoke in that poolroom hung like a fog
G#
When he talked, he sounded like a growling dog
C# G#
He said, "Would you care for a dollar on the five or the nine?"
G# C#
Now this man was ugly and his eyes were mean
G#
His clothes were dirty but his hands were clean
C# G#
He held that stick like a mother holds the hand of a child
G# C#
Well, I've been known to hustle a few
G#
When the waitress said, "Is he playing you?"
C# G#
And I said, "Yeah. Bring me brandy, water by."

[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."
A#
[Verse 3]
A# D#
Then he went out and got a custom cue
A#
He said, "It's no offense to you,
D# A#
But I don't play off the wall with nobody but friends."
A# D#
It had gold initials and a leather grip
A#
Pearl and silver inlaid tip
D# A#
He smiled at me and he said, "Why don't we play for ten?"
A# D#
Well, I never seen a man that walk
A#
Who made those balls and table talk
D# A#
They're speaking English, he sure didn't need my help
A# D#
He broke the balls and kept that string
A#
For a hundred and eighty seven bucks and a ring
D# A#
'Til I gave up and said, "Friend, you're gonna have to play by yourself."
B
[Verse 4]
B E
Well, he sacked it up and he walked outside
B
And I strolled out just to watch him ride
E B
And there was a blonde in that Caddy built like the rest of that car
B E
The boys in the poolroom, they had 'em laughing
B
And I hung it up and just let it pass
E B
And didn't have a thing but my elbows to put on the bar
B E
And the waitress smiled, said, "Water by?"
B
I took the charity and I thanked her twice
E B
And sittin' there sippin' and suddenly I had me a thought
B E
Unlucky gambler and lucky in love
B
Guess you know what I was thinking of
E B
When I said, "Waitress, honey, what time do you get off?"
