Don't Let Your Deal Go Down
(Don't Ever Take Your Eye Off The Game)

  B7                       E7
Dont ever take your eyes off the game, babe
   A7                           D
If you don't want your deal to go down
   B7                       E7
Don't try to get away on a sunny day
  A7                     D
Thats the time to hang around

   B7                      E7
Theyll try to tell you, aint nothing wrong
   A7                                D
Your shirt gets short, where it should be long

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



     B7                       E7
And setting around singing that old love song
   A7                 D
Dont let your deal go down

All together now....(Chorus)(same chords)

  B7            E7
Dont let your deal go down
   A7                 D
Dont let your deal go down
   B7                     E7
Dont let your deal go down sweet mama
   A7                        D
Till your last gold dollar is gone

   B7                         E7
Dont ever take your eye off the scoreboard babe
    A7                         D
Theres a lot of pretty lights up there
    B7                             E7
Dont ever bet your ass on a snow white horse
    A7                 D
It might not be going anywhere

   B7               E7
Now I dont mean to make you sad
   A7                              D
But you are having the best time you ever had
   B7                         E7
Its just your nature makes you wanna be bad
    A7                 D
Don't let your deal go down

All together now:

  B7                    E7
Oh no dont let your deal go down
   A7                D
Dont let your deal go down
   B7                E7
Doobidee,Doobidee do do ...down
   A7                      D
Till your last gold dollar is gone

Instrumental:

  B7                        E7
Now I don't know what I said last night
    A7                        D
I think it was about quarter to eight
    B7                       E7
I think things were going to go down
    A7                    D
Because we couldnt commun--i--cate

   B7                       E7
But now, I  think things are all right
    A7                      D          
Nobody knows when things go bad, 
   B7                 E7
Things have got to get better
   A7                        D
If I dont want my deal to go down


All together now:
  B7               E7
Dont let your deal go down....
