(Verse 1)
(Em)I don't wanna bet but my (D)father wrote a check
That I (G)bet his ass could never cash (C)
He's (Em)betting on the eight ball (D)landing in the side wall
(G)Cold blooded killer if you ask (C)
But (Em)every night he needs me to (D)land himself
A red three (G)corner pocket at 12 am (C)
(Em)Only twelve years old but (D)I got a hold of a (G)pool stick
I was gifted from (C)him
 
(Chorus)
My father is a (Em)betting man (D)
But I got myself a (G)steady (C)hand
He's sitting in the (Em)corner with a six pack of Co-(D)rona
Betting that his son will (G)win again (C)

(Verse 2)
Go (Em)bet another six-pack, (D)bet I make comeback
(G)I know that this table's got a (C)lean
(Em)Won't you takе me fishing and I (D)wanna try out
For the (G)sevеnth grade football (C)team
He'll (Em)probably be nothing but this (D)town's old drunkard
And (G)die on a smoke stained (C)stool
Right (Em)now he's got a bargain that he's (D)taken too far
On his (G)boy's game of nine-ball pool (C)
 
(Chorus)
My father was a (Em)betting man (D)
But I got myself a (G)steady (C)hand
He's sitting in the (Em)corner with a six pack of Co-(D)rona
Betting that his son will (G)win again (C)
My father was (Em) a betting man / / / |(D) / / / |(G) / / / |(C) / / / |
