two dollar ticket

chorus 1
Am C G Am
two dollar ticket in a four fingered hand
F C E Am
god help me i’m a gambling man

verse 1
Am C G Am
i was pretty cocky in my high roller days
F C E Am
i placed a wager that i could not pay
Am C G Am
i asked for a week and they gave me five
F C E Am
before they came collecting one piece at a time

chorus 2
Dm E
two dollar ticket in a four fingered hand
Am C E Am
god help me i’m a gambling man

verse 2
your money or your life it’s a pretty easy call
til i realized i never gamble more at all
i gave up the deed to the family farm
lost the home where my great great grandma was born

verse 3
well it’s nine in the morning and i’m sitting on this bench
gonna do some scratching cause i got that itch
if i only win a free one there ain’t no shame
it means this gambler’s still in the game

verse 4
a two dollar ticket in a four fingered hand
don’t seem that bad if you don’t understand
bolt cutters beat the rusty blade of the saw
i hold my lucky penny with a two fingered claw
