As written in Bb, this song may be difficult for some of you (I still can't make all the chord switches smoothly) so I've included a simplified version in A. You can play these chords along with the recording if you capo the first fret.
A Bb You've got to have an ace in the hole D7AA7 Eb7BbBb7 A little secret that nobody knows D D#dim7 A/EF#7 Eb Edim7 Bb/FBb(#5)/F# G7#5 Life is a gamble, a game we all play B7EE7 C7FF7 But you need to save something for a rainy day A Bb You've got to learn to play your card right D7AA7 Eb7BbBb7 If you expect to win in life D D#dim7 A/EF#7 Eb6 Edim7 Bb/F G7#5 Don't put it all on the line for just one roll B7E7A C7F7Bb(x13331) You've got to have an ace in the hole
2: If you're headed down a one way street And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go In money or love or all the above Have a little more than what you show When life deals out a surprise Have a few surprises of your own No matter what you do, no matter where you go You've got to have an ace in the hole
Chords I use (but they are by no means the only choice): I still Am not comfortable with the Bb(#5)/F#
C7FF7Eb6 I often use plain Eb :111113 111111 111111 |:1||:10 instead of Eb6. :||||| |||2|| |||2|| 2:||3: :|3|4| |34||| |3|||| |:|4|:
To really get the Western Swing sound you want to hit the bass notes on beats 1 and 3 and strum the whole chord on 2 and 4, but muffle it quickly to get a percussive BOOM-chick BOOM-chick sound. If any of you are more adventurous and would like some "swing-ier" sounding chords, I've got some suggestions from Bo Parker that I'll be happy to share with you.
