(início)

C                                       F
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
       G                                    G7            C
If the gambling went to morning, that's how late my daddy stayed
                                         F
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
    G                                       G7            C
And aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
                          F
Some say that daddy was a good for nothing man
    G                                    G7           C
But he'd come home each morning with the money in his hand
                                       F
There was chicken on the table and the rent was always paid
           G7
From those aces, straights and flushes
                         C
That's the game my daddy played
CHORUS:
                                        F
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
       G                                    G7            C
If the gambling went to morning, that's how late my daddy stayed
                                         F
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
    G                                       G7            C
And aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
                               F
Oh mama, she ran off with some fast talking man
    G                              G7              C
And daddy took to gambling just to feed our little clan
                               F
Sometimes it was blackjack and sometimes seven stud
    G7
But aces, straights, and flushes
                          C
Well, they ran in daddy's blood
CHORUS:
                                        F
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
       G                                    G7            C
If the gambling went to morning, that's how late my daddy stayed
                                         F
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
    G                                       G7            C
And aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
                              F
Then came the time that daddy played his biggest game
        G                       G7            C
For the love of a woman and the honour of her name
                                       F
And when the smoke had cleared and the cards had all been played
   G7                                         C
My daddy gave up gambling and took up the trombone
CHORUS:
                                        F
Aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
       G                                    G7            C
If the gambling went to morning, that's how late my daddy stayed
                                         F
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made
    G                                       G7            C
And aces, straights and flushes, that's the game my daddy played
