You remember at the start, the Gambler and the Monk played cards?
[Intro] D Em G A (x2)
D Em
Years before a Monk and Gambler embarked
G A
On a long trek right through the great lands of the North
D Em
They had a debate about God, chance and fate
G A
And agreed it be settled through just one card game
D Em
Day after day they sat there and they played
G A
As the weeks and the days and the months passed away
D Em
Travelers came in just to watch and drink gin
G A
And bet on which one would eventually win
[Interlude] D Em G A (x2)
D Em
As a whole town was then slowly built round them
G A
The Gambler's pot rose and Monk’s pot went down
D Em
And thus came to pass the final hand came at last
G A
But before it was played the Gambler’s heart it gave way
D Em
He hollered and cried right out ‘for he died
G A
A curse from his lungs: the game was not done
D Em
He swore they’d be back to finish at last
G A
And fist to the sky, the Gambler died.
