Intro:   D - D - D - D - D - D - D

Verse 1:

D              Cadd9  G               D
They built a casino     out under the stars
     D           A7                      D
With neon lights blinkin' on tired rusty cars
                    Cadd9  G                  D
Card sharks take my money, Whiskey puts me in jail
            A7                  D
An oasis of misery I know it so well


Verse 2:

                 G                      D
I pawned my last silver it sparkled and shined
                A7                             D
And a beautiful ring from the black hills gold mine
             G                     D
A hole in my pocket that money did burn
          A7                  D
A loser beyond the point of return

Verse 3:

                  G                    D
My woman couldn't take my Friday night ways
               A7                   D
She left me in search of her better days
                  G                    D
Now I'm tortured by silence and being alone
                   A7                   D
And the shadows of evil that inherit my bones


Verse 4:

                  G                          D
So it's back to the place where I gambled on hope
               A7                   D
My name once respected is now but a joke
                     G                D
Cause I stumble back home, I murmur a prayer
                   A7                   D
And can't help but wonder is God really there
