Gamblers Prayer

[A]  [E]  [A]  [E]

2--1
2--2

[A]Lord hear my prayer
[E]Look down on me
[D]I'm not as wealthy as [A]I used to be
It's [Bm]not even ten and I'm [F#m]busted again
[D]Why does this happen to [E]me?
[A]Give me a sign
[E]Show me you care
[D]A straight to the Ace Lord, or [A]even a pair
I can't [Bm]make it alone and I'll [F#m]sink like a stone
Unless [D]you can undo what I've [E]done

So [D]Lord lift me up in your [A]tender embrace
[D]Lend me your wisdom, your [A]strength and your grace
[D]Help me to [Adim]smash my [A]opponent's [Abdim]fat   [F#m]face
Oh Lord [D]help me take [E]money from my [A]frie[E]nds

[A] [E] [Eaug]

[A]Deep down I know
That it's [E]only a game
But [D]I want them shaking in [A]terror and shame
It's just [Bm]poker and beer
Still I [F#m]need them to fear me Lord
[D]It's not enough just to [E]win

[D]Deal me good cards and I'll [A]handle the math
[D]We'll take their money while [A]they take a bath
I'll [D]show them my [Adim]hand and you'll [A]show them [Abdim]your  [F#m]wrath
        [D]            [E]             [A]   [E]
O[E]h Lord help me take money from my friends

[F#m]And I don't want to [C#aug]cheat them
[A]Because I know that's a [B7]sin

(fingerpick on D string: 2,3)

[F#m]I just want to de[C#aug]feat them
And make it [A]hurt when I [B7]win
Make it [D]hurt when I [E]win...[Eaug]

So [A]poke them with sticks
And [E]crush them with stones
[D]Chew them up good Lord and [A]spit out their bones
Make [Bm]my riches grow and let [F#m]those bitches know
That you [D]hate them and love only [E]me
[D]Burn it all down until [A]nothing survives
[D]Make them regret for the [A]rest of their lives
The [D]day that they [Adim]bet their [A]dogs and [Abdim]their [F#m]wives
Oh Lord [D]help me take [E]money from
[D]Help me take [E]money from
[D]            [E]             [A]    [E]   [A]
He[A]lp me take money from my friends
