[Verse 1]
         Cm
Aldo's standing at his table
          Ab
And he's wondering if he's able
    Bb
To pick the number right this time
           Cm
He watches as the wheel stops spinning
         Ab
Sees the number that is winning
       Bb
As he reaches for his glass of wine
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cm                    Ab
Once he starts it's hard to stop
      Bb                      F
He's keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock
  Cm                    Ab
Be sure you don't step in his way
       Bb
He'll keep those numbers rolling
 
This may be his last day
 
 
[Interlude]
Cm Ab Bb F
Cm Ab Bb F
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Cm
As all the bets are taken
      Ab
Aldo lights a smoke, he's shaking
        Bb
From carnation right to the ground
    Cm
He knows tonight holds one last chance
     Ab
And give the wheel a final glance
  Bb
Slippery fingers drop the money down
 
 
[Verse 4]
Cm                   Ab
Once he starts it's hard to stop
      Bb                      F
He's keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock
    Cm                      Ab
And as he leaves the table, "No luck today"
         Bb
You can rest assured, he's coming back to try again

[Chorus 1]
Cm               Ab
Wind him up, he can't stop
       Am                 Bb
He's wound up tight just like the clock
        Cm           Ab          Bb
That's winding its second hand down
 
Cm                Ab
Wind him up, he can't stop
    F               Bb
He keeps on going 'round the clock
       Cm          Ab         Bb
He's winding his second hand down
