[Verse 1]
[Refrão]
C Dm C
There's a solitary man crying "Hold me"
Dm C
It's only because he's a-lonely
Dm C
If the keeper of time runs slowly
Dm C
He won't be alive for long!

[Chorus 1]
F C Dm C
If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
G
With a card up his sleeve what would he achieve?
F C/E G/D G
It means nothing!

[Verse 2]
C Dm C
To the opium dens and the barroom gin
Dm C
In the Belmont chair playing violins
Dm C
The gambler's face cracks into a grin
Dm C
As he lays down the king of spades

[Chorus 2]
F
But the dealer just stares
C Dm C
There's something wrong here he thinks
G
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
F C/E G/D G
And shot.......... Dead

  C  Dm  C   Dm   C   Dm   C  Dm    C   F
He only wanted more time
C Dm C
Away from the darkest door
G
But his luck it gave in as the dawn light crept in
F C/E G/D G
And he lay on the floor

[Verse 3]
C Dm C
From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
Dm C
With a lance and a musket and a roman spear
Dm C
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
Dm C
In the service of the King

[Chorus 3]
F
Before you met your fate be sure you
C Dm C
Did not forsake
G F C/E G/D G
Your lover may not be around anymore
