Capo on 1st fret
[Intro]
G C D G C G D G
[Verse 1]
G                             C
I wanted more from life, than four kids and a wife
      G        D             G
And a job in a dark Kentucky mine.
                      C
A twenty acre farm, a shackey house and barn
       G             D           G
That's all I had and all I left behind
[Verse 2]
G                                 C
But at gambling, I was lucky, and so I left Kentucky
    G              D            G
And left behind my woman and my kids
G                           C
Into the gay casinos in the fattest town of Reno
        G             D                   G
This Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick 
[Chorus]                                                      
G                C                     D           G
Kentucky gambler who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky
    C                  G               D              G
And who's gonna be the one to give her everything she needs.
G                 C                      D               G
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna raise your children in  Kentucky
         C                        G                 D              G
Yeah and who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet
[Verse 3]
G                                C
There at the gambler's paradise, Lady Luck was on my side
    G                     D           G
and this Kentucky gambler played just right
G                                      C
Hey, I won at everything I  played - I really thought I had it made
G                 D                          G
But I should have quit and gone on home that night
[Verse 4]
G                                          C
But when you love the green backed dollar, sorrow's always bound to follow
    G                  D         G
And Reno's dreams fade into neon amber
G
And Lady Luck, she'll lead you on
       C
She'll stay a while, and then she's gone
G                D              G
You better go on home, Kentucky gambler
[Verse 5]
G                                          C
But a gambler never seems to stop, till he loses all he's got
           G            D               G
And with a money hungry fever, I played on
G                                            C
I played till I'd lost all I'd won and I was right back where I'd started from.
G              D             G
Then I started wanting to go home
[Chorus]
G                       C             D             G
Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody, waiting in Kentucky
C       G             D           G
You ran out, somebody else walked in
G                 C                    D           G
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
C            G            D                G
                                               N.C.
Seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins
Much more than he wins
[Outro]
G C D G C G D G
