Biography:
Folding together equal portions of greasy '50s pop, Memphis-style rhythm & blues, and a punk rocker's sense of casual experimentation and musical cross breeding, the Compulsive Gamblers were at the forefront of the Memphis roots punk scene, alongside such bands as the Gibson Bros. and '68 Comeback, creating a sound that was at once sinister, comical, and full of potent groove.
The Compulsive Gamblers were formed in Memphis, TN, in 1990 by Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber

[G]
[G] one was from the [C] east [D] the other from the [Em] west [C]
[Am] and I don't claim to [D] know either [Am] one of them's the [D] best
but I [C] know an good man [G] when I see one
your humour just as [C] black [D]as the bruises on your [Em] arms [C]
[Am] what you lacked in [D] skills you made [Am] up for with your [D] charms
you [C] said it was just some new [G] infection
Chorus:
but if the [D] two of you had met both your [Am] mothers would have [C] wept
two peas in a [G] pod or just [D] two thieves [C]
on the nod [G]
you stole your [C] education [D] while the students were [Em] asleep [C]
you [Am] wrapped your history [D] up in blankets [Am] and sank it in the [D] deep
you said [C] what's saved was worth per[G]fection
you were my [C] ambassador [D] to a world that didn't [Em] care [C]
[Am] bad luck on your [D] side mirrored [Am] shades and dirty [D] hair
when I [C] look all I see is my own [G]reflection
Solo
[G] [C] [D] [Em] [C] [Am] [D] [Am] [D] [C] [G]
well they twitched and they [C]winked [D]
you would show me we are thick as [Em] thieves [C]
but [Am] you empty out my [D] wallet and my [Am] ashtray as you [D] leave
did you for[C]get that I was your only [G] friend ?
two months on the [C] road [D] and I don't know how to say good [Em] bye [C]
[Am]maybe I should [D] bury all those [Am] memories of [D] you
but I don't [C] ever want to see them [G] die
