Intro: A D E A 


Verse 1 
A 
I never thought I'd need you 
     D 
But now I find I'm wrong 
E 
Come on back sweet mama 
                A 
Back where you belong 
      A 
I've gambled over town 
    D 
And find that I can't win 
E                           A 
Come on back and Pick me up again 
          

         E 
Now if I lose 
       A 
Let me lose 
        E 
I don't care 
            A 
How much I lose 
     A 
If I lose a hundred dollars 
          D 
While I'm trying to win a dime 
    E                           A 
My baby she's got money all the time 


Verse 2
 
A 
Of all the other girls I know 
D 
None can take your place 
       E 
'Cause when I get into a jam 
                       A 
They just ain't in the race 
   A 
So come on back home dear 
      D 
Let’s take another round 
E 
With you here by my side babe 
                       A 
The deal just can't go down 


         E 
Now if I lose 
       A 
Let me lose 
        E 
I don't care 
            A 
How much I lose 
     A 
If I lose a hundred dollars 
          D 
While I'm trying to win a dime 
    E                           A 
My baby she's got money all the time 


Solo 
A  D  E  A 


         E 
Now if I lose 
       A 
Let me lose 
        E 
I don't care 
            A 
How much I lose 
     A 
If I lose a hundred dollars 
          D 
While I'm trying to win a dime 
    E                           A 
My baby she's got money all the time
