G A D G D
[Verse 1]
GEl Viejo, friend of mine
A DI think you left us just in time
GThey're outta vodka, no more wine
A DI think you left us just in time
[Verse 2]
GYou know I hate to see you leave
A DBut it ain't no secret you believed
GYou was meant for earlier days
A DWilder times and a freer range
[Verse 3]
GSo old compadre Lord I know
A DYou was likely glad to go
GI hope it's easier in time
A DFor those of us you left behind
[Chorus]
N.C. G
They ain't dealin' blackjack down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore
A DAnd they'd wanna pay you six to five and that ain't hardly worth playin' for
GAll's I seen was slot machines from wall to wall the whole casino floor
A DNobody hittin' seventeen playin' against the dealer that's for sure
[Interlude]
D G A D
[Verse 4]
GMi amigo, mon ami
A D Elko blues, indeed
GYou know we did the best we could
A D But the shine was off the wood
[Verse 5]
GWe played up most all of your songs
A DBut with you and Don and Baxter gone
GThat sure leaves some boots to fill
A DAnd I'm not sure we ever will
[Verse 6]
GBut on a slightly brighter side
A D The Outside Circle guys
GThey're still tearin' up the Star
A DAnd Capriola's ain't that far
[Chorus]
N.C. G
They ain't dealin' blackjack down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore
A DAnd they'd wanna pay you six to five and that ain't hardly worth playin' for
GAll's I seen was slot machines from wall to wall the whole casino floor
A DNobody hittin' seventeen and worse yet the Commercial's closed its doors
A D G A D G DNobody hittin' seventeen playin' against the dealer rest assured
[Outro]
