INTRO:(Spoken, ad lib.)
        C          Am7                   F          G7
You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold. 
    C             Am7      F    G7
The stakes may be heavy or small. 
       C           Am7         F        G7
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost, 
C           Am7        F   G7
you haven't gambled at all.
