C C# D
I am a gambler God knows I?ve been around
                                         C C# D
I lived it up and now I?m livin? it down
                                                         C C# D
I?ve played some hunches boys and I?ve played some blues
                                                 C C# D
But a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.

                                           C C# D
I thought my woman was my ace in the hole
                                          C C# D
But when she left me I was out of control
                                              C C# D
I just had bad luck now since I got the news
                                                  D G
But a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.

[Chorus]
                                         G D
Old Lady Luck she ain?t nobody?s friend
                                                D A  
And Old Dame Fortune broke my heart in thee end
                                             C D 
Love was the one thing I tried not to abuse 
                                                    D 
But a, a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.

                                         C C# D
I like casinos and I play slot machines
                                         C C# D
I lost a fortune if you know what I mean
                                                    C C# D
Those one arm bandits was the wrong thing to choose
                                                  D G
But a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.

[Chorus]
                                           G D
I lost it all I don?t have no more to give
                                                 D A  
The doctor told me I don?t have too long to live
                                                 C D 
My friends all say they?d hate to be in my shoes 
                                                     D 
But a, a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.
