Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  got shot off my horse
 So what? I'm up  again
 And playing in one of these
 Big saloons on main
 You can come  up here
Take  a look
 Around these sinners'  dens
 You're only  ever going to find
 One or two real games
Nobody's driving
 Me underground
Not  yet anyway
 But either  on the strip
 Or on the edge  of town
 Everybody pays
 Everybody pays to play
Yeah,  you ought to stay
 Right where  you are
 In sawdust  land
 It's probably the
 Safest place to be
 With your greasy  little pork  pies
 And your shoestring  hands
It  makes no difference to me
All  those directions
 Which we never  took
 To go  our different ways
Who  went and wrote
The  oldest story in  the book?
 Everybody pays
 Everybody pays to play
Curl  up inside
 A boxcar  dream
 And disappear
 With a couple
 Low roller friends
 You were never  one
 For trouble
 So get out  of here
 I knew  the game
 Was dangerous back then
 But nobody's breezing
 Through these swinging  doors
Just  ups and walks away
Everybody  has to leave
 Some blood here on  the floor
 Everybody pays
 Everybody pays to play
Everybody  pays
 Instr.
