Here is the Song "Ace in the Hole" lyrics and chords as figured out by me. If someone can send me the audio recording I'd appreciate it. My Dad loved this song and I found a recording by Lu Watters and Clancy Hayes, but it is not the one my dad played all the time.
Hint: copy and past onto microsoft word with margins out to the far right of the page to get the chords to line up with the words properly.
Ace In The Hole by Dempsey and Mitchell
G Db G Db
This town is full of guys, who think they're mighty wise
G E Am E Am
Just because they know a thing or two
Am E Am Am E Am
(Why) you can see them every day, strolling up and down broadway
A A7 D D9 D D7
Telling of the wonders they can do
G Db G Db
You'll see wise guys and boosters, card sharps and crap shooters
G E Am E Am
They congregate around the metropole
A D A D
They wear flashy ties and collars, but where they get their dollars,
A A7 D D9 D D7
They've all got an ace down in the hole
G Am D D9 D7 G D
Some of them write to their old folks for coin, and that's their ace in the hole
G Am D D9 D7 G
Others know gals on the old tenderloin, and that's their ace in the hole
A D A A7 D D9 D D7
They'll tell you of money they've made and they've spent, but they never can flash the bankroll
G Am D D9 D7 G
But they'd be on the line, in their clothes not a dime, if they lost that old ace in the hole
Chorus G Am D D9 D7 G x2
Verse A D A A7 D D9 D D7
Chorus G Am D D9 D7 G
G Am D D9 D7 G
Some of them write to their old folks at home, and that's their ace in the hole
G Am D D9 D7 G
Others know gals on that old tenderloin, and that's their ace in the hole
A D A A7 D D9 D D7
They'll tell you of trips they never did make, from Frisco up to the North Pole
G Am D D9 D7 G
But their name would be mud, like a chump dealing stud, if they lost that old ace in the hole
