CThere I was in Arizona
GPlaying stud with a dead man's Chand
CIn the thick of a nasty downswing
GGetting coffee-housed by a wellC-dressed man
CBut my main concern was a big stack bully
WGho knocked 3 times then he laid 'em Cdown
CI knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty
GI had to vamoose but I didn't know hCow

GHolding tricks, waiting for the Cace
My poker BbfaFce I guess needs some praCctice
GI finally learned how deep water tCastes
CI got stopped in Salt Lake City
GI was trying to pass when I heard the Chowl

There I was in Arizona

G C

Playing stud with a dead man's hand

In the thick of a nasty downswing

G C

Getting coffee-housed by a well-dressed man

But my main concern was a big stack bully

G C

Who knocked 3 times then he laid 'em down

I knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty

G C

I had to vamoose but I didn't know how

F C

Thought I was cool as a cactus

G C

Holding tricks, waiting for the ace

Bb F C

My poker face I guess needs some practice

G C

I finally learned how deep water tastes

I got stopped in Salt Lake City

G C

I was trying to pass when I heard the howl

G C

That policeman said "you sure are pretty"

G C

It's a gawl-darn shame I gotta take you down

F C

Thought I was free as a pheasant

G C

Flying low chasing my dreams

Bb F C

It's kinda strange out in the desert

G C

I finally learned what deep water means

G C

F C

Thought I was free as a pheasant

G C

Flying low chasing my dreams

Bb F C

It's kinda strange out in the desert

G C

I finally learned what deep water means

G C

I finally learned what deep water means
