The Cardplayers chords

[Intro]
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                          Am      Em
I guess it depends what you mean by collusion
                            B7
There's no winning strategy here
   Em                      Am           Em
If you think that Ev and I worked out a system
                     B7       Em
Well, things are not as they appear
       Am                      Em
And if I thought behavior like this would win card games
                              B7
I'd show up more often ‘round here
      Em                        Am           Em
May I say for a pit boss you're really quite lovely
             B7             Em
I'm sorry we met like this, dear
 
 
[Chorus]
        Am*                        Em*

But I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard
     Em                        B7
It's credit where credit ain’t due
         Em                        Am        Em
What you failed to account for per your calculations
                        B*        Em
Is that fools sometimes gеt lucky too
D                                              Em
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must bе a fool
D                                                Em
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                               Am        Em
Complaints have been lodged by respectable locals
                           B7
We've poisoned their usual grind
  Em                          Am          Em
A more noble group dressed in hoodies and sunglasses
             B7              Em
You would be hard-pressed to find
Am                            Em
Players like this should have known that if only
                                    B7
They'd allowed us our drink and our fun
          Em                     Am           Em
We'd have given it all back with interest and pleasure
                     B7          Em
In the long run that would never come
 
 
[Chorus]
        Am*                        Em*
But I'd sure like to know what got wrote on that clipboard
     Em                        B7
It's credit where credit ain’t due
         Em                        Am        Em
What you failed to account for per your calculations
                        B*        Em
Is that fools sometimes gеt lucky too
D                                              Em
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must bе a fool
D                                                Em
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too

[Verse 3]
Em                             Am          Em                              Bm
The fiddler, he feels that his rights as a red-blooded patriot have been infringed
   Em          Am                   Em                           Bm     Em
He says he's entitled to whiskey by sovereignty, birthright, and citizenship
       Am*                         Em*                       Em                      B7
And if they're running bad because we're drinking liquor, it doesn’t reflect on them well
      Em               Am              Em                      B*             Em
Cause who hasn't overindulged and then drunkenly dragged a few pots, what the hell!
 
 
[Outro]
D                                              Em
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must bе a fool
D                                                Em
Fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too
      D*                                               Em
Yeah, fools, they get lucky, and I guess I must be one too
