I corrected a few errors in the chorus (a couple of B flats changed to D
minor, and there's no G minor). I also tidied up the format a little (the
chord letters didn't line up correctly with the words on the original) and
added the outro. If there are any other errors, feel free to e-mail me.

INTRO: |F C |Bb |F C |Bb
|F C |Bb
Couldn't roll me a seven if they gave me loaded dice.
|F C |Bb
I couldn't draw a hand if I sat here all night.
|F C |Bb
Scared money, bad whiskey; there ain't no way to win.
|F C |Bb |Bb
This ain't the first time, it's the way it's always been.
|F Dm |C
You know the lady's a lot like Reno;
|F Bb |C
She ain't got a heart and she don't care when you're down.
|F Dm |C
Just like the lights of a casino,
|Bb |C
She'll pull you in and play with you a while
|Bb
But there ain't no way to win,
|Bb C |F C |Bb |F C |Bb
I know, she's a lot like Reno
They're both out to break you, take everything you got.
When you finally win the hand there ain't nothin' in the pot.
A gamble that I'm takin' but either one I choose,
Lady or Reno, either way I lose.
[CHORUS twice]
OUTRO: |F C |Bb |F\...
Couldn't roll me a seven if they gave me loaded dice.
[ Outro is tagged onto end of final chorus, starting on the F chord 2 bars
