[Verse 1]
A D
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
A F#m E
For you know that those odds won't ride with you
A D
And never leave your woman alone, with friends around to steal her
A F#m E A
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
[Verse 2]
A D
So we'll keep rollin on, til we get to Vancouver
A F#m E
And a woman that I love, is living there
A D
Oh it's been six long months and more since I've seen her
A F#m E A
Maybe gambled and lost like summer wages
[Chorus]
E D A
And in all the beer parlors, all down on Young Street
F#m D A
The dreams of the seasons, all spilled down on the floor
E D A
All the big stands of timber are ready for falling
F#m D E
And the hustlers sitting watchfully, as they wait there by the door
[Verse 3]
A D
So I'll work on the towboats, in my slippery city shoes
A F#m E
Which I swore I'd never do again
A D
Through the gray fog-bound straits, where the cedars stand watching
A F#m E A
I'll be far off and gone, like summer wages
[Chorus]
E D A
And in all the beer parlors, all down on Young Street
F#m D A
The dreams of the seasons, all spilled down on the floor
E D A
All the big stands of timber are ready for falling
F#m D E
And the hustlers sitting watchfully, as they wait there by the door
[Verse 4]
A D
For she’s a woman so fine, I might never try to find her
A F#m E
For the memories are all we had before
A D
They should never ever be changed, 'cause they’re all that I’ll take with me
A F#m E A
Now I’ve gambled and lost my summer wages.
[Verse 5]
A D
Never hit seventeen, when you play against the dealer
A F#m E
For you know that those odds won't ride with you
A D
And never leave your woman alone, with friends around to steal her
A F#m E A D A D A D A
Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
