A                             D
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
        A               F#m                  E
For you know that those odds won't ride with you
          A                            D
And never leave your woman alone, with friends around to steal her
          A           F#m              E   A
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages

A                               D
So we'll keep rollin on, til we get to Vancouver
      A            F#m             E
And a woman that I love, is living there
             A                   D
Oh it's been six long months and more since I've seen her
      A           F#m              E   A
Maybe gambled and lost like summer wages

       E                         D       A
And in all the beer parlors, all down on Young Street
                  F#m          D                   A
The dreams of the seasons, all spilled down on the floor
        E                        D         A
All the big stands of timber are ready for falling
                         F#m                 D                 E
And the hustlers sitting watchfully, as they wait there by the door

        A                           D
So I'll work on the towboats, in my slippery city shoes
        A         F#m      E
Which I swore I'd never do again
            A                                 D
Through the gray fog-bound straits, where the cedars stand watching
        A           F#m               E   A
I'll be far off and gone, like summer wages

       E                         D       A
And in all the beer parlors, all down on Young Street
                  F#m          D                   A
The dreams of the seasons, all spilled down on the floor
        E                        D         A
All the big stands of timber are ready for falling
                         F#m                 D                 E
And the hustlers sitting watchfully, as they wait there by the door

            A                      D
For she’s a woman so fine, I might never try to find her
        A            F#m        E
For the memories are all we had before
            A                                     D
They should never ever be changed, 'cause they’re all that I’ll take with me
         A           F#m            E   A
Now I’ve gambled and lost my summer wages.

A                             D
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
        A               F#m                  E
For you know that those odds won't ride with you
          A                            D
And never leave your woman alone, with friends around to steal her
          A           F#m              E   A   D   A   D   A   D   A
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
