The Lovin´ Of The Game    Pat & Victoria Garvey

(C)    (Dm7) (F)    (C) (hold)
I saw the Feather River (Dm7)glide
(F) Over shinin´ golden (C)sand,
Struck a silver ribbon (Dm7)wide,
(G) Held a million in my (C)hand. (C/G) (C)
But beside the lookin´ (Am)for
Oh, the fin(Am7)ding´s (Am)a(A4)l(C)ways (Am)tame,
And there´s (C)nothin´ drives a (Dm)gambler (Dm7)
(F) Like the (G)lovin´ of the (C)game. (hold)

All my life I ran a(Dm7)round,
(F) Searchin´ hard from town (C) to town,
But I never ever (Dm7)found
(G) Anything to tie me (C)down. (C/G) (C)
Still, I would not trade my (Am)time
For (A4)a (Am)so(Am7)lid (Am)di(A4)a(C)mond (Am)claim,
No, I (C)would not trade a (Dm)fortune (Dm7)
For the the (G)lovin´ of the (C)game. (Dm7) (F)    (C) (hold)

So long, darling, don´t you (Dm7)cry,
(F) I hope that things pan out (C) for you.
All the good times going (Dm7)by,
(G) Got to have ourselves a (C)few. (C/G) (C)
Where I´m goin´ has no (Am)end,
What (A4)I´m (Am)see(Am7)kin´ (Am)h(A4)as (C)no (Am) name,
No, the (C)treasure´s not the (Dm)takin´, (Dm7)
(F) It´s the (G)lovin´ of (C) the game.
No, the treasure´s not the (Dm)takin´, (Dm7)
(F) It´s the lovin´ of the (C)game.
