INTRO: Am
VERSE ONE
Am Dm Am
When she had twenty years...she turned to her mother
Dm Am
Saying mother,...I know that you'll grieve
C Dm F Am
But I've given my soul to St John The Gambler
Am Dm Am
Tomorrow comes time leave.
Dm Am
For the hills cannot hold back my sorrow forever
Dm Am
And dead men lay deep round the door
C Dm F Am
The only salvation thats mine for the asking
G Am
So mother, think on me no more
VERSE TWO
Dm Am
And winter howled high round the mountains breast
Dm Am
And the cold of a thousand snows
C Dm F Am
Lay heaped upon the forests leaf
Am Dm Am
But she dressed in cal -i -co.
Dm Am
For a gambler likes his women fancy
Dm Am
...,Fancy she would be
C Dm F Am
And the fire of her longing would keep way the cold
Am G Am
And her dress was a sight to see.
VERSE THREE
Dm Am
But the road was long beneath her feet.
Dm Am
She followed her frozen breath.
C Dm F Am
In search of a certain St John The Gambler
Am Dm Am
Stumbling to her death
Dm Am
She heard his laughter right down from the mountains
Dm Am
And danced with her mothers tears.
C Dm F Am
To a funeral drone of cal-i-co.
Am Esus4 Am
Neath the cross of twenty years
TAGG
C Dm F Am
To a funeral drone of ca-li-co
G Am end
Neath the cross of twenty years
