[Note] Played on harmonica with two holes in G harp.
[Note] Zach plays a regular C chord during Cadd9 but the Cadd9
sounds closer to what the other guitars play.

[Intro]
| Em | D/F# | G | Cadd9 |
| Em | D/F# | G | Cadd9 |
[Verse]
Em D/F#
I don't wanna bet but my father wrote a check
G Cadd9
That I bet his ass could never cash
Em D/F#
He's betting on the eight ball landing in the side wall
G Cadd9
Cold blooded killer if you ask
Em D/F#
But every night he needs me to land himself a red three
G Cadd9
Corner pocket at 12 AM
Em D/F#
Only twelve years old but I got a hold of a pool stick
G Cadd9
I was gifted from him
[Chorus]
Em D/F#
My father was a betting man
G Cadd9
But I got myself a steady hand
Em D/F#
He's sitting in the corner with a six pack of Corona
G Cadd9
Betting that his son'll win again
| Em | D/F# | G | Cadd9 |
| Em | D/F# | G | Cadd9 |
[Verse]
Em D/F#
Go bet another six pack, bet I make comeback
G Cadd9
I know that this table's got a lean
Em D/F#
Won't you take me fishin'? And I wanna try out
G Cadd9
For the seventh grade football team
Em D/F#
You'll probably be nothing but the town's old drunkard
G Cadd9
And die on a smoke stained stool
Em D/F#
Right now he's got a bargain that he's taken too far
G Cadd9
On his boys game of nine-ball pool
[Chorus]
Em D/F#
My father was a betting man
G Cadd9
But I got myself a steady hand
Em D/F#
He's sitting in the corner with a six pack of Corona
G Cadd9
Betting that his son'll win again
Em
My father was a betting man

[Bridge]
Em D/F#
I don't wanna bet but my father wrote a check
G Cadd9
That I bet his ass could never cash
Em D/F#
He's betting on the eight ball landing in the side wall
G Cadd9
Cold blooded killer if you ask
[Chorus]
Em D/F#
My father was a betting man
G Cadd9
But I got myself a steady hand
Em D/F#
He's sitting in the corner with a six pack of Corona
G Cadd9
Betting that his son'll win again
Em
My father was a betting man
