Playin' Dominoes And Shootin' Dice Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]
[C]Once I knowed a guitar picker,
lived his life on wine and [G]liquor,
[C]running around in one of them
[G]new machines.
He was about the proudest feeling,
wheeling, dealing, sneaking,
stealing,
aggravating this man I ever [C]seen.
Nothing but a midnight rambler,
biggest drunkard and a gambler,
he'd do anything that
wasn't [G]nice.
Huntin', golfin', fishin',
swimmin',
runnin' around with other women,
playin' dominoes
and shootin' [C]dice.[G][C]
Then one night as he was dinin',
while the moon was brightly shinin',
with his secret love he was so [G]gay.
He'd laugh and call her honey
while she proudly spent his money,
as they'd hug and smooch
the time [C]away.
Laughin', jokin', drinkin',
dancin',
plannin' parties and romancin',
havin' fun regardless of the [G]price.
Eatin' caviar and chicken,
strummin' his guitar and pickin',
playin' dominoes
and shootin' [C]dice.[G][C]
Then his wife walked in and found him,
[Cm]all those pretty girls [C]around him,
started makin' headway for the [G]game.
When he seen them gals dividing,
he commenced to slip and sliding,
but he seemed to know it was [C]too late.
Crowds began to getting thinner,
they jumped up and left for dinner,
no one seemed [G]to have [C]an appetite.[G]
Not a person dared offend her,
everyone jumped out the window,
no one hung around to
see the [C]fight[G].[C]
Then she grabbed him by the collar,
he commenced to squeal and holler,
as she plastered him betwixt
the [G]eyes.
Grabbed his old guitar
and swung it o 'er his head,
she proudly hung it,
bruised his knots
and bumps [C]began to rise.
He leapt up and [G]tried to squeeze her,
[C]but she warped him cross the beaser,
pulled a gun and shot him once or [G]twice.
When the wicked fight was over,
he was four beneath the clover,
no more dominoes and shootin' dice.
He's [C]neath the clover[F],[Dm][F]
[C]no more [G]dominoes
and no more shootin' [C]down.
