David Allan Coe ? Nothin? To Lose (Part 2)
Capo 3
I am a gambler God knows I?ve been aroundC  C#  D  
I lived it up and now I?m livin? it downC  C#  D  
I?ve played some hunches boys and I?ve played some bluesC  C#  D  
But a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.C  C#  D  
I thought my woman was my ace in the holeC  C#  D  
But when she left me I was out of controlC  C#  D  
I just had bad luck now since I got the newsC  C#  D  
But a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.D  G  
[Chorus]
Old Lady Luck she ain?t nobody?s friendG  D  
And Old Dame Fortune broke my heart in thee endD  A  
Love was the one thing I tried not to abuse C  D  
But a, a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.D  
 D   C   C#   DX4
I like casinos and I play slot machinesC  C#  D  
I lost a fortune if you know what I meanC  C#  D  
Those one arm bandits was the wrong thing to chooseC  C#  D  
But a man with nothin? ain?t got Nothing To Lose.D  G  
[Chorus]
I lost it all I don?t have no more to giveG  D  
The doctor told me I don?t have too long to liveD  A  
My friends all say they?d hate to be in my shoes C  D
