This is what I´ve got:

The Dealer    Bob Ruzicka

Capo 3rd fret for Judy Collins' version

(C) (C/B) (Am) (C/G) (C) (C/B) (Am) (C/G)
(C) Jack of Diamonds, (C/B) Queen of Spades
(Am) Fingers (Am/G)tremble and the (F)memory fades,
And it's a (C)foolish man (G/D) who tries to bluff the (C)dealer. (G/D)
The (C)Joker has laughed, (Em7/B) Lady Luck smiled,
(Am) The Aces were (Am/G)high and the (F)Deuces were wild,
When you're (C)down and losin', (G) everyone's a (F)cheater.(C)

(F)Got a little more than you (G7)bargained for,
(C) A little more than you had in mind.
(F) They called your bluff and (G7) twenty-one
Beats (Am)(hold)nineteen every (G)time.

(C) Life's a lot (C/B)like that, my friend,
(Am) Luck runs (Am/G)out, the (F)winning streak ends.
(C) When the deck is stacked, (G/D) you can't bluff the (C)dealer. (G/D)
(C) Just when things were (Em7/B)going fine,
(Am) (Am/G)Someone jumped you (F)from behind,
And (C)when you're down and losin', (G) everyone's a (F)cheater.(C)

(F)You can't win and you (G7)can't break even,
(C) You can't get out of the game.
(F) You shouldn't stay, but (G7)you ain't leavin',
'Cause your (Am)(hold)luck could change a(G)gain.
- Instrumental verse -

(F)You can't win and you (G7)can't break even,

(F) You shouldn't stay, but (G7) you ain't leavin',
'Cause your (Am)(hold)luck could change a(G)gain.

(C) Jack of Diamonds, (C/B) Queen of Spades
(Am) Fingers (Am/G)tremble and the (F)memory fades,
And it's a (C)foolish man (G/D) who tries to bluff the (C)dealer, (G/D)
And it's a (C)foolish man (G/D)(hold) who tries to bluff the (F)dealer. (F)(Fj7)(FM7add6)(C)

Playing hint: For the intro, no high E-string and on the 'turnaround point'
of the chords, add a D-note on B-string.

This is the way I play it, close to Judy Collins version.
FM7add7 is like F(ma)j7 but with a D-note added on B-string.
