[Verse 1]
D
I’m what you’d call a bettin’ man
C
And I live from pay to pay
G C
I’m a high card stud of mongrel blood
D
And a zero on the day
D
Well I’m no sage nor soothsayer
C
nor arbiter of truth
G C
I’m high on risk and low on temper
D
And long in the tooth
D
Well I'm long in the tooth
[Chorus 1]
C Em Bm D
I’m wide awake on the losing end of it
G D C
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
G D Em
With a Whistle and a Grin
C D G
With a Whistle and a Grin
[Interlude 1]
D D C Em
D D Am G
D D C Em
D D C D D
[Verse 2]
D
A buxom belle with a surefire tell
C
Was barking up my tree
G C
I couldn’t take her money
D
She was making eyes at me
D
Oh so fine with a low neck line
C
Reckless fast and loose
G C
She giggled as she drew me in
D
And tightened up the noose,
D
Yeah she tightened up the noose
[Chorus 2]
C Em Bm D
I’m wide awake on the losing end of it
G D C
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
G D Em
With a Whistle and a Grin

[Verse 3]
D
I used the brain between my legs
C
Threw in the kitchen sink
G C
That painted up bamboozler
D
left me staring in my drink
D
To plumb the depths inside my head
C
but I can't seem to find
G C
The morale of the story
D
or a little piece of mind
D
Just a little piece of mind
[Chorus 3]
C Em Bm D
I’m wide awake on the losing end of it
G D C
Better check my pride and take it on the chin
G D Em
With a Whistle and a Grin
