               E 
Well you're a high life lady drinking city wine
E
And your finger rings honey how they shine

I'd like to deal you in to my game and you'd find

With the chess board logic and your knight's in your palms
E
You've rooked every body that you've ever known
      A                                          E
Well sit right down and I'll deal us a hand And that's what I understand

E
So Consider it said and consider it done
        A                                      E
If you play the game that I've got planned  I hope you understand
   B7
Un-til you call me and get change for your dime
n.c.                                      E    E E A E B7 B7 E
The king takes the queen honey every time     Musicial interlope
    E  
I don't go no low ball stutter no pan
E
I don't acey ducey with no woman or man
      A 
But I've got five for your sweet little hand
         E  
That I know you'll understand
   B7
Un-til I see you turn water into wine
