CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G C G C G
Eddie had a few days coming
C
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt
D
Out to the land of supply and demand
G D G
Where you can get anything you want
He wasn't looking for true love
C
No, he didn't believe in that stuff
D
Eddie Le Grande was a hard working man
G
Who just needed a little good luck
C
His shoes were a little worn
G Em
His hair was a little thin
Am C/B
Just another old sailor
C D G
Waiting on his ship to come in
Lily was a two time loser
C
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice
D
She acted real tough, said, "Once ain't enough
G D G
For me, I learned my lesson twice"
Deep in her heart lived a young girl
C
Dreaming a young girl's dream
D
And that young girl was who Eddie ran into
G
Over by the slot machines
C
Her face was a little pale
G Em
Her dress was a little thin
Am C/B
Oh, but looking at her was like
C D G
Watching his ship come in
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C D G
Well, he bought her a cup of coffee
C
With the quarters he meant to play
D
They went for a bite and they talked all night
G D G
'Til they said what they needed to say
Then they found them an all night chapel
C
With a heart shaped honeymoon suite
D
And somewhere tonight in the neon light
G
Two hearts can't be beat
C
And he's singing a little song
G Em
She's grinning a little grin
Am C/B
And they're holding each other
C D G
Watching their ship come in
C
Her face was a little pale
G Em
His hair was a little thin
Am C/B
But they're two young lovers
C D G
Watching their ship come in
Am C/B
Just holding each other
C D G
Watching their ship come in
