[Verse 1]
F Bb C F
Back stabbing, lord back talking
F Bb C F
Fools running off at the mouth
F Bb C F
When the big wind blows chilly and cold
F Bb C F
The wisest fool flies south
F Bb C F
Living on beans and nicotine
F Bb C F
And a tale my papa told
F Bb C F
They say look the poor boy is going down
F Bb C F
But I got an ace in the hole
F Bb C F
But I got an ace in the hole
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
Old man time has got my body
Dm C Bb F
Ol’ Scratch has got my soul
Dm C Bb
But don't shed no tears when I go down
Bb F
'Cause I got an ace in the hole, I got an ace in the hole
[Verse 2]
F Bb C F
Seventeen and Lord I was beamin’
F Bb C F
Don’t ask me to pay twice
F Bb C F
Matchbox garter in the Ol’ French Quarter
F Bb C F
Oh what a fool’s paradise!
F Bb C F
Books and plans they could not stand
F Bb C F
the sun shines orange and gold
F Bb C F
Kings and Queens all dressed in rags
F Bb C F
and I got an ace in the hole,
F Bb C F
I got an ace in the hole
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
Old man time has got my body
Dm C Bb F
Ol’ Scratch has got my soul
Dm C Bb
But don't shed no tears when I go down
Bb F
'Cause I got an ace in the hole, I got an ace in the hole
[Verse 3]
F Bb C F
You're leaving and I'm staying
F Bb C F
I guess I'll be leaving soon
F Bb C F
If the roads we’re on cross down the way
F Bb C F
Let’s drown a bottle or two
F Bb C F
You always had a joker up your sleeve
F Bb C F
When the hard times got too cold
F Bb C F
Don't look at me and say down in the mouth
F Bb C F
'Cause I got an ace in the hole,
F Bb C F
I got an ace in the hole
[Outro]
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
[jam]
Dm C Bb F
I got an ace in the hole
