Aces, Straights, and Flushes that's the game my daddy played 
        A                                      D 
if the gamblin' went 'till mornin', that's how late my daddy stayed 
D                                        G 
He bought shoes for all us kids with the money that he made 
    A                                                     D

          D                            G

Then came the day my daddy played his biggest game 
        A                                    D 
for the love of a woman and the honor of her name 
    D                                  G 
and when the smoke had cleared and the cards had all been played 
   A                                          D 
my daddy gave up gamblin' and took up the trombone
