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