       Am
These tables are haunted
         G
By the ghost of Las Vegas
        Am              
Their chips were once mountains
          G             Am
But they came here to play

            Am              C
They could take me if they wanted
            G
But I have nothing worth counting
              Am
And like the sands of Nevada
          G        Am
They go drifting away


      Am
Lady luck's still a mystery
          G
With her head on my shoulder
    Am
And I don't know why
         G           Am
I still want her to dance

   Am               C
I guess that's all history
        G
What it is is a I'm older
    Am
And I'm still a fool
      G          Am
For a one-way romance

     C
Her dice were red rubies
      F               G
They rolled and they tumbled
       C
And I never saw time
        F            G
Running out with my roll

            Am
And in the wasteland of cut glass
     G
My dreams were crumbled
          Am  
And I've paid with whatever
       G          Am
I had left for a soul

         Am
Now the dawn's broken even
     G
On a empty horizon
    Am
No reason for folding
    G          Am
No reason to stay

          Am         C
It's too soon to be leaving
     G
Too late for criticizing
         Am
And the sands of Nevada
          G        Am
They go drifting away
