The Lovin' Of The Game Pat & Victoria Garvey
(C) (C/B) (Am) (C/B) (C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G)(hold)
Saw the Feather River (F)glide
(G7) Over shinin´ golden (C)sand, (C/B) (Am)
Struck a (Am/G)silver ribbon (F)wide,
(G7) Held a million in my (C)hand. (C/G) (C)
Beside the (Am)lookin´ (Em)for (F)
Ah, the (G7)finding´s always (C)tame, (C/B) (Am)
And there´s (Am/G)nothin´ drives a (Dm)gambler (Dm+7) (Dm7)(hold)
Like the lovin´ of the (C)game. (C/B) (Am)(hold)
All my life I ran a(F)round,
(G7) Searchin´ hard from town to (C)town, (C/B) (Am)
But I (Am/G)never ever (F)found
(G7) Anything to tie me (C)down. (C/G) (C)
Still, I would not (Am)trade my (Em)time (F)
For a (G7)solid diamond (C)claim, (C/B) (Am)
No, I (Am/G)would not trade a (Dm)fortune (Dm+7) (Dm7)(hold)
For the lovin´ of the (C)game. (C/G) (C)
- Instrumental last four lines of verse one -
So long, darling, don´t you (F)cry,
(G7) I hope that things pan out for (C)you. (C/B) (Am)
And all the (Am/G)good times going (F)by,
(G7) Got to grab ourselves a (C)few. (C/G) (C)
Where I´m goin´ (Am)has no (Em)end, (F)
What I´m (G7)seekin´ has no (C)name, (C/B) (Am)
And the (Am/G)pleasure´s not the (Dm)takin´, (Dm+7) (Dm7)(hold)
It´s the lovin´ of the (C)game. (C/B) (Am)(hold)
No, the (Am/G)pleasure´s not the (Dm)takin´, (Dm+7) (Dm7)(hold)
Ah, it´s the lovin´ of the (C)game. (C/B) (Am) (Am/G)
(C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G) (C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G)
(C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G) (C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G)
(C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G) (C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G)
(C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G) (C) (C/B) (Am) (Am/G) (C)
