Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][G][Am][Em][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
My daddy [Am]was
a handsome gam[G]bler
He had [Am]a chain, five miles [Em]long
On every [C]link, [G]a h[Am]eart d[D]etangled
Of another [C]maid [Am]he'd
loved and [D]wronged
He'd tell [G]to you

[Verse 2]
[Am]some loving [G]story
He'd make you [Am]think
he believed [Em]them true
But love grows [C]cold,
[Am]as love grows olde[D]r
And fades [C]away[G][Am]
[Em]like [D]morning dew

[Verse 3]
I'd rather [Am]be in some da[G]rk hollow
Where [Am]the sun refuse [Em]to shine
Than to [C]live [Am]here in M[Em]issouri[D]
With [C]your memory[G][Am]
always haunting my [D]mind
Come all [G]ye fair

[Verse 4]
[Am]and tend[G]er ladies
Take warning [Am]how you
caught your [Em]men
They're like [C]a star[Am]
on a summers [D]morning
First they [C]appear, [Am]then they're gone[Em] again[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
*whistling* Come all ye [Am]fair
and [G]tender ladies
Take warning [Am]how you
caught your [Em]men
They're like [C]a star[G][Am]
on a summers [D]morning
First they [C]appear, [G]the[Am]n they're gone again[D]
[Am][G][Am]
[Em][C][G][Am]
