 Got a pretty smile,  I can smile too.  Smile so big  my head’s in two.
 You wanna be friends,  you can be mine.  Keep you happy  in the sunshine.
 Take my hand,  it’s warm you can tell.  Feel my heart,  it’s hotter than hell
 I’ve been there  and I can take you too,  I can make all  your bad dreams come true.
 (Slide Licks in )
 (5 times) end on
 I like small towns and the people there. Easier money than welfare.
 What does it take to get a handout? A sucker to trust you without a doubt.
 But they need me and I need them, we’re all red-blooded working men.
 Good or bad, where do I stand? Between the devil and a dollar is a confidence man.
 It’s a confidence game,  I’m a confidence man.  Sure as I win,  sure as I stand.
 Tell you what I am,  honest I ain’t.  Stab you in the back,  smiling like a saint.
 Confidence man  in a confidence game,  I’ll leave you with nothing  but your shame.
 Your mama warned  about a confidence game,  she’s been taken  in just the same  – by a
 confidence man.
 When the market dies like it always does everybody’s pockets are lighter than they was.
 Evrybody’s mad everybody’s pissed They can’t believe that they were taken by a scam like this
 Still they can’t even understand, how they got swindled by an ordinary man
 They pay the price, that’s why I came, to make ‘em all losers in a confidence game.
 SLIDE LICKS IN G
 (5 Times) end on
 The guitar solo is done on a dobro/resonator guitar, tuned to open G.

I like small towns and the people there. Easier money than welfare.
What does it take to get a handout? A sucker to trust you without a doubt.
But they need me and I need them, we’re all red-blooded working men.
Good or bad, where do I stand? Between the devil and a dollar is a confidence man.

It’s a confidence g[D]ame, I’m a confidence m[Em]an. Sure as I w[C]in, sure as I s[D]tand.
Tell you what I [Em]am, honest I ai[C]n’t. Stab you in the b[D]ack, smiling like a s[Em]aint.
Confidence m[C]an in a confidence g[D]ame, I’ll leave you with n[Em]othing but your s[C]hame.
Your mama w[D]arned about a confidence g[Em]ame, she’s been ta[C]ken in just the s[D]ame – by a
confidence m[D]an.    [Em]           [C]                [D]

When the market dies like it always does everybody’s pockets are lighter than they was.
Evrybody’s mad everybody’s pissed They can’t believe that they were taken by a scam like this
Still they can’t even understand, how they got swindled by an ordinary man
They pay the price, that’s why I came, to make ‘em all losers in a confidence game.
