Em               D                  C          D

He sticks to his guns, he takes the road as it comes

C

He takes the shine off his shoes

Em             D                  C        D

He says it's a shame, you know it may be a game

C

Ah but I won't play to lose     -----------8-7------------------- ---------------10-8-------------- -9---7/9-------------------7-9-7- ------------------------10------- --------------------------------- ---------------------------------

He swallows it neat     --------------------------------- --------------------------------- -9(10)~~~9---7(9)7-7(9)7-7(9)~~~- --------------------------------- --------------------------------- ---------------------------------

He crosses the floor, he opens the door

He takes a sniff at the street
