The Stanfields - Whistle and a grin

I’m ^Dwhat you’d call a bettin’ man And I ^Clive from pay to pay I’m a ^Ghigh card stud of ^Cmongrel blood And a ^Dzero on the day Well ^DI’m no sage nor soothsayer nor ^Carbiter of truth I’m ^Ghigh on risk and ^Clow on temper And ^Dlong in the tooth Well I'm ^Dlong in the tooth

I’m ^Cwide a^Emwake on the ^Bmlosing end of i^Dt Better ^Gcheck my pride and ^Dtake it on the ^Cchin With a ^GWhistle ^Dand a ^EmGrin With a ^CWhistle ^Dand a ^GGrin

A ^Dbuxom belle with a surefire tell Was ^Cbarking up my tree I ^Gcouldn’t take her ^Cmoney She was ^Dmaking eyes at me ^DOh so fine with a low neck line ^CReckless fast and loose She ^Ggiggled as she ^Cdrew me in And ^Dtightened up the noose, Yeah she ^Dtightened up the noose

I’m ^Cwide a^Emwake on the ^Bmlosing end of i^Dt Better ^Gcheck my pride and ^Dtake it on the ^Cchin With a ^GWhistle ^Dand a ^EmGrin With a ^CWhistle ^Dand a ^GGrin

^D(T^Dhis is essentially the same as Interlude 1, only with key changed to A and in the end going back to D.)

I ^Dused the brain between my legs Threw ^Cin the kitchen sink That ^Gpainted up bam^Cboozler left me ^Dstaring in my drink To ^Dplumb the depths inside my head but ^CI can't seem to find The ^Gmorale of the ^Cstory or a ^Dlittle piece of mind Just a ^Dlittle piece of mind

I’m ^Cwide a^Emwake on the ^Bmlosing end of i^Dt Better ^Gcheck my pride and ^Dtake it on the ^Cchin With a ^GWhistle ^Dand a ^EmGrin With a ^CWhistle ^Dand a ^GGrin With a ^GWhistle ^Dand a ^EmGrin With a ^CWhistle ^Dand a ^GGrin

^D(s^Dam^Ce ^Das Interlude 1, except the ending)
