Intro C5 F5 C5 G5 C5
C5
Never hit seventeen
F5
When you play against the dealer
C5
You know that the odds
G5
Won't ride with you
C5
Never leave your woman alone
F5
With your friends around to steal her
C5
She'll be gambled and gone
G5
Like summer wages
And we'll keep rollin on
Till we get to Vancouver
And the lady that I love
Shes living there
Its been six long months
And more since I've seen her
Maybe she's gambled and gone
Like summer wages
(Chorus)
G5
In all the beer parlors
F5 C5
All down along Main Steet
C5
The dreams of the season
F5 G5
Are spilled down on the floor
G5
All the big stands of timber
F5 C5
Wait there just for fallin'

C5
The hookers stand watchfully
F5 G5
Waitin by the door
I'm going to work on them towboats
With my slippery city shoes
Lord I swore I would never do that again
Through the great fog bound straights
Where the cedars stand waitin
I'll be lost and gone
Like summer wages
(Chorus)
Never hit seventeen
When you play against the dealer
You know that the odds
Won't ride with you
Never leave your woman alone
With your friends around to steal her
She'll be gambled and gone
Like summer wages
F5 C5
And the years are gambled and lost
G5 C5 G5 C5
Like summer wages
