F#m * play F#m to E6 over and over
F#m *
It's a long way down to Reno Nevada
It's a long way to your home
And the change in your pocket it's beginnig to grumble
And you reap just about what you sow
Bm E6
You can walk down the street
Bm E6
Pass your face in a window
F#m C#7
you can go fooling around
F#m Bm
you can work night and day take a chance on promotion
F#m
you can fall through a hole in the ground
F#m *
Now there ain't no game like the game that you're playing
When you've got a little something to lose
And there ain't no time like the time that you're wasting
And you waste just about what you choose
Bm E6 Bm E6
There's a man at the table and you know he's been able
F#m C#7
To return all the odds that you lay
F#m
But you can't feed your hunger
Bm
And you ain't getting younger
F#m F#m D C#7 F#m
And your tounge it's got nothing to say
SOLO
F#m *
It's a long way down to Reno Nevada
It's a long way to your home
And the ground underneath you it's beginning to tremble
And the sky up above you has grown
Bm E6 Bm E6
There's a time to be moving a time to be groving
F#m C#7
And a time just to climb up the wall
F#m
But the odds they've doubled
Bm
And it ain't worth the trouble
F#m
and you're never going nowhere at all
F#m *
It's a long way down to Reno Nevada
It's a long way to your home
And the ground underneath you it's beginning to tremble
And the sky up above you has grown
Bm E6 Bm E6
There's a man at the table and you know he's been able
F#m C#7
To return all the odds that you lay
F#m
But you can't feed your hunger
Bm
And you ain't getting younger
F#m
And your tounge it's got nothing to say
