Gordon Lightfoot - Too Much To Lose
CAPO: 3rd Fret
G D C D G
[INTRO:]
[VERSE 1:]
C G C
Pardon me if I'm leaving in a hurry can't you see
G C G D
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
Em C G C
I've played your game, obeyed your rules the best that I know how
G D G
Gonna get out while the game don't get me down
[CHORUS:]
B7 C G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone
D
I won't see you again before the dawn
C G C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
G D G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
D C D G
[INTERLUDE:]
[VERSE 2:]
C G C
Pardon me if I don't turn back or even say goodbye
G C G D
I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea
Em C G C
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure
G D G
And the dust cloud on the edge of town is me
[VERSE 3:]
C G C
If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow
G C G D
Forget it, that's all in yesterday
Em C G C
Forgiving is to lovers, as trusting is to fools
G D G
And of losing there is nothing I can say
[CHORUS:]
B7 C G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone
D
I won't see you again before the dawn
C G C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
G D G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
[CHORUS:]
F C G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone
D
I won't see you again before the dawn
C G C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
G D G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
D G
Well, I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
D C D G
[OUTRO:]
