[Verse]
C7I used to hang out, down at jack's pool hall
C7You go down there, don't do nothin' at all
C7You wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back
C7You wanted a shoot of somethin', you went and talked to jack
C7If you had a little money you was a grade a fool
C7There was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool
[Refrain]
Rack em C7up   Rack em C7up   Rack em F9up   Rack em C7up

[Verse]
C7He didn't own a set TV, he didn't own a car
C7He ate whatever Jack is making back behind the bar

C7He hadn't been home once in twenty-five years

Dm7

[Intro]

[Verse]

I used to hang out, down at jack's pool hall

You go down there, don't do nothin' at all

You wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back

You wanted a shoot of somethin', you went and talked to jack

If you had a little money you was a grade a fool

There was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool

[Refrain]

C7 C7 F9 C7

Rack em up Rack em up Rack em up Rack em up

Dm7 G7 C7 A7 D7 G7

Till the day he was dead, that all they ever said was rack'em up

[Verse]

He didn't own a set TV, he didn't own a car

He ate whatever Jack is making back behind the bar

They said he had a wife, but she left him tears

He hadn't been home once in twenty-five years

Rack'em up Rack'em up

[Verse]

They come from all over thinkin' they were pretty hot

They put the money on the table, wanna play the best we got

Take a hundred dollar bill and just, let it ride

I'd tell him, "listen hear sonny, there ain't no disaster

There ain't no shame in bein' beaten by a master"
