[Verse 1]
 
Am          G             C       D
If I had a gun for every ace I've drawn,
C             Em               Am
I could arm a town the size of abilene
Am               C G   Em               D
Don't ya push me baby 'cause I'm moanin low
        C        C/B  Am    G       Am
And you know I'm only in it for the gold
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am            G             C        D
All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
C                   Em                 Am
And I could pay you back with one good hand
Am            C      G        Em         D
You can look around about the wide world over
           C     C/B  Am      G      Am
And you'll never find another honest man
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G         D           A
Last fair deal in the country, sweet Suzy
G         D           A
Last fair deal in the town
G             D                A
Put your gold money where your love is baby
  C        C/B    Am   G  D             Am
Before you let my deal go down.......go down
 
G  D A C  C/B Am G D Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                G    C                 D
Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low
C                    Em                  Am
Well I know a little something you won't never know
Am                 C G            Em             D
Dont ya touch hard liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
          C      C/B    Am     G    Am
I'm gonna get up in the morning and go
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am         G           C            D
Everybodys braggin and drinkin that wine
C                       Em              Am
I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines
Am      C G   Em            D
Come to daddy on the inside straight
       C      C/B       Am    G     Am
Well I got no chance of losing this time
       C      C/B       Am    G     Am
Well I got no chance of losing this time
       C      C/B       Am    G     D         Am
Well I got no chance of losing this time

I've heard this song many times but I got to tell you that I've really just fallin' in love with it since playing and singing it. I realize that some of these posts go back to 2008 but a special thanks to cmerc for the initial tabs and to dyodji for fine tuning it. And I've been to 86 Dead shows.

The chorus should only be sung twice.Skip the first chorus shown here to get it right.
