Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
  Thats the basic chord progression.. for most of the song.
  The first verse is as follows...
   The bar  was dark, quiet  and still  and nothing could be
  heard,  the dust  lay undisturbed.  At a table  near the back  ,underneath
  a  fan ....  .two men shared a  joke about  the normal  folk.
  The cards  are on  the table  .. .the winner  takes  it all...  the game  is
  nearly  over,  one  man about  to fall  ...
  chorus
  Well i don't believe  in heaven ..  i dont  believe  in hell,
  I dont  believe  what i am seeing  ..  this is  no game cant you  tell...
  For the midle part the chords are : -
 
  The second verse is : -
  I'm calling your bluff the first man said,
  The people went to war .. they always wanted more.
  And how could i ever fail to lose, i cant take it
  any more, they don't want to learn the score.
  The second man showed his hand,
  some walked bare-foot 'cross the land,
  and many have seen the future and are
  doing the best they can ...
  chorus
  Third verse...
  The clock ticked past the final hour,
  and which of the men had lost, and what was the cost?
  The glasses now where empty and gone
  To wash away the shame and take away the pain.
  One man left the table,
  the other was head in hands,
  He paid the bill for the defeated,
  the only thing that's left that stands.
 twice)
  Hope you can work it out ......
