England Dan and John Ford Coley - Showboat Gambler
th Fret
Intro: C
Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen
Abound for New Orleans
G C
And again I'll get that feeling that I'm free
Her paddle wheels will churn
And her smoke stacks they will burn
G C
And slowly I'll be carried to the sea
F Em Dm
'Cause I'm a rambler
C
A showboat gambler
G C
I make my living on the run
F Em Dm
I'm a rambler
C
A showboat gambler
G C
Big Muddy will always be my home
I know every river ship
'Cause I've taken every trip
G C
And I know every captain by his name
In the eyes of every man
I can tell what's in his hand
G C
I guess that I have played in every game
F Em Dm
'Cause I'm a rambler
C
A showboat gambler
G C
I make my living on the run
F Em Dm
I'm a rambler
C
A showboat gambler
G C
Big Muddy will always be my home
