Capo: 3
Put a capo on the 3rd fret. Mark sings this song very deep, so if you want to sing it on
own I suggest taking off the capo and sing one octave higher.
The chords are given relevant to the capo:
These Amtables are haunted by the Gghost of Las Vegas
Their Amchips were once mountains but they Gcame here to Amplay
They could Amtake me if they wanted but I have Gnothing worth counting
And like the Amsands of Nevada they go Gdrifting Amaway
Lady luck's still a mystery
With her head on my shoulders
And I don't know why
I still want her to dance
I guess that's all history
What it is is I'm older
And I'm still a fool
For a one-way romance
Her Amdice were red rubies they Frolled and they Gtumbled
And I Amnever saw time running Fout with my Groll
And in a Amwasteland of cut glass my Gdreams have all crumbled
And I've Ampaid with whatever I had Gleft for a Amsoul
Now the dawn's broken even
On an empty horizon
No reason for folding
No reason to stay
It's too soon to be leaving
Too late for criticizing
And the sands of Nevada
They go drifting away

That's all folks!
