Blackjack

Lyrics and chords

Verse 1
Hahahahahah - Yeeeehhhahahhahahahah
E5
Well the dealer keeps on smiling
The fish throws away his clubs
A5
The whisky keeps me thirsty
And the shark says he has had enough
B5
The music turns to ticking
A5
The sun begins to shine
E5
Well the devil knows he beaten
He starts to pour the wine
A5
Well you never see him coming
E5
He makes the devil run scared
B5
Well You’d better not be laughing
B7
Cause he can see inside your head

Chorus
A5
Black jack
Turn back
E5
He’ll be playing until you’re dead
B5
Black jack
A5
Bush whack
E5
He’s got the devil running scared
A5
I said Black jack
Wise crack
E5
Don’t you think on betting red
B5 A5
Well the devils looking worried
B7
And Black Jack rules the deadddddddd

Verse 2

Sweats beading on your forehead
The cowboy puts away his guns
The fatman keeps on laughing
The devil thinks he’s won

Black Jack laughs the loudest
As he pulls out the ace of spades
The fatmans looking worried
They’ve seen his weak charade

Well you never see him coming
He makes the devil run scared
You’d better not be laughing
Cause he can see inside your head

Chorus
A5
Black jack
Turn back
E5
He’ll be playing until you’re dead
B5
Black jack
A5
Bush whack
E5
He’s got the devil running scared
A5
I said Black jack
Wise crack
E5
Don’t you think on betting red
B5 A5
Well the devils looking worried
B7
And Black Jack rules the deadddddddd

Instrumental – Gig will be electric and violin – (studio will be BRASS)

Middle
D5 E5
Well you think you’re a winner but even winners sometimes lose
B5 A5 E5
When what’s the point in calling, when the cards they are your muse
A5 E5
Life throws you a few lemons, well fuck that lemonade

B5 A5 B7
Cause if you want to keep on winning, you’ll never be afraid-d-d-d-d-d

Chorus

Black jack
Turn back
He’ll be playing until you’re dead
Black jack
Bush whack
He’s got the devil running scared
I said Black jack
Wise crack,
Well don’t you think on betting red
Well the devils looking worried
And now Black Jack rules the dead

Black jack
Turn back
He’ll be playing until you’re dead
Black jack
Bush whack
He’s got the devil running scared
I said Black jack
Wise crack
Don’t you think on betting red
Well the devils looking worried
And Black Jack rules the dead-d-d-d-d
BLACK JACK!
