[Intro] G C G G/F# Em D7 G [Verse 1] G C Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer G Em For you know that the odds won't D ride with you G And never leave your woman alone, C when your friends are out to steal her G She'll be gambled and gone like D G summer wages

G G7
And we'll keep rollin on, 'til
C
we get to Vancouver
G Em
And the lady that I love, she's
D
living there
G C
It's been six long months and more
since I've seen her
G
She may be gambled and gone,
D G
like summer wages

[Chorus]
D C
In all the beer parlors, down
G
around main street
G G/F# Em
The dreams of the seasons, get all
C G
spilled down on the floor
D C
All the big stands of timber, waiting
G
for the falling
G Em
And the hookers standing watchfully ,
C D
waiting by the door

[Verse 3]
G
So I'll work on the towboats,
C
with my slippery city shoes
G Em
Which lord I swore I would never
D
do that again
G
Through the gray fog bound straits,
C
where the cedars stand a watching
G
I'll be far off and gone
D G
like summer wages
