G D/F# Em Once I was a rich man, C G A gambler was my game G D/F# Em ‘Til I saw her cool beauty C G Inside her danced my flame G D/F# Em And I watched till my desire C G Was turned from me to her G D/F# Em And she watched till I was blinded C G And then she left me there G D/F# Em Give her diamonds for her fingers C G And rhinestones for her hair G D/F# Em Give her dresses for her body C G But don’t ever give her care G D/F# Em She’ll curse you and she’ll haunt you C G And she’ll do it with a smile G D/F# Em Even when you’re on the long road C G And been down it many a mile G D/F# Em I gave her all she needed C G I loved her all I could G D/F# Em But she wanted more boys C G And I never understood G D/F# Em And the times that I would leave her C G I never could decide G D/F# Em Whether I was gone for good then C G Or just for one last ride G D/F# Em Give her diamonds for her fingers C G And rhinestones for her hair G D/F# Em Give her dresses for her body C G But don’t ever give her care G D/F# Em She’ll curse you and she’ll haunt you C G And she’ll do it with a smile G D/F# Em Even when you’re on the long road C G And been down it many a mile G D/F# Em Even when you’re on the long road C G And been down it many a mile
