By Patty Loveless Capo 3 G C G C G Eddie had a few days comin' C So he took a Las Vegas jaunt D Out to the land of supply and demand G D Where you can get anything you want G He wasn't lookin' for true love C No, he didn't believe in that stuff D Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man G Who just needed a little good luck C His shoes were a little worn G Em His hair was a little thin Am C/B Just another old sailor C D G Waitin' on his ship to come in G Lily was a two time loser C Who said that love was just a roll of the dice D She acted real tough, said once ain't enough G D For me I learned my lesson twice G But deep in her heart lived a young girl C Dreamin' a young girl's dream D And that young girl was who Eddie ran into G Over by the slot machines C Her face was a little pale G Em Her dress was a little thin Am C/B Oh but lookin' at her was like C D G Watchin' his ship come in G Well, he bought her a cup of coffee C With the quarters he meant to play D They went for a bite and they talked all night G D 'Til they said what they needed to say G Then they found 'em an all night chapel C With a heart shaped honeymoon suite D And somewhere tonight in the neon light G Two hearts can't be beat C And he's singin' a little song G Em She's grinnin' a little grin Am C/B And they're holdin' each other C D G Watchin' their ship come in C Her face was a little pale G Em His hair was a little thin Am C/B But they're two young lovers C D G Watchin' their ship come in Am C/B Just holdin' each other C D G Watchin' their ship come in
