Intro.: (D) --- (G) --- (D) ---
I hit my (D)stride (G) in Louisi-(D)ana
Where it's hard to tell the (G)daytime from the (D)night
I placed my bet (G) and I saw the (Bm)faces
Of the winners (G)and the (D)losers (A)in the (D)light
I've dragged my (D)nets (G) off the Widow (D)Maker
I'm up three weeks pay (G) I got a motel (D)key
New Orleans (G) sure found a (Bm)winner
(G) Off a (D)run down, (G)low rent, (D)gulf coast (A)loser like (D)me
(Chorus)
Am I the worst you've (A)seen Bernadine (D)
Shed a little of your lovin' down my (A)way (A/C#)
(D)Keep these dice from (D/F#)turning cold, (G)make my hard times shine like gold

Solo: |(D)(G)|(D) |(D)(G)|(D/A) |(D)(G)|(Bm) |(D)(G)(D)(A)|(D)
Well the rain (D)falls hard (G) on the motel win-(D)dow
As the night gives in (G) along the Pontchar-(D)train
I ran with Little Joe (G) and lost all my (Bm)money
(D)Whiskey and (G)salt-(D)water running (A)through my (D)veins
Saint Bernad-(D)ine (G) please don't for-(D)sake me
You gonna help me, (G) help me find my (D)way
These hard times (G) don't over (Bm)take me
(A) I'll (D)cast my (G)nets in-(D/F#)to the (A)Galveston (D)Bay
