Showboat Gambler

(início)

INTRO: C
Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen
Abound for New Orleans
     G                                   C
And again I'll get that feeling that I'm free
Her paddle wheels will churn
And her smoke stacks they will burn
    G                             C
And slowly I'll be carried to the sea
CHORUS:
             F  Em   Dm
'Cause I'm a rambler
           C
A showboat gambler
          G             C
I make my living on the run
      F  Em   Dm
I'm a rambler
           C
A showboat gambler
               G            C
Big Muddy will always be my home
I know every river ship
'Cause I've taken every trip
    G                           C
And I know every captain by his name
In the eyes of every man
I can tell what's in his hand
  G                                 C
I guess that I have played in every game
CHORUS:
             F  Em   Dm
'Cause I'm a rambler
           C
A showboat gambler
          G             C
I make my living on the run
      F  Em   Dm
I'm a rambler
           C
A showboat gambler
               G            C
Big Muddy will always be my home
INSTRUMENTAL: C  G F C  G F C
Tonight I'm a-sitting here
Beneath a chandelier
          G                           C
There's a lady here to light my big cigar
And if luck will be my friend
We'll be finished up by ten
             G                                 C
And we'll be standing on the decks beneath the stars
CHORUS:  (## 3x - fade to end ##)
             F  Em   Dm
'Cause I'm a rambler
           C
A showboat gambler
          G             C
I make my living on the run
      F  Em   Dm
I'm a rambler
           C
A showboat gambler
               G            C
Big Muddy will always be my home
