G ~ Em
Well, I'll tell you 'bout a gambler, folks, Jim Weaver was his name
C G ~ Em
And I don't know where he came from, but gambling was his trade
C G D
Ride in here close beside me, I'll tell you about a game
C G C D Em C D7 Em
The damnedest game in all my years I ever did see played
G ~ Em
Some said they'd seen him play before down on the Barbary Coast
C G ~ Em
He said that might be true enough, 'cause he'd gambled all around
C G D
And he lost his stake to a jack high straight out at Sutter's Fort
C G C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
But he'd saved a little poke in case of a game within our town
Chorus:
