[Verse 1] G I found a brand on a pine-wood bench, C says, "Take a chance on me." D You laughed and bought two sour lemons C G just to see what the fool would say to me. G Your boots were caked with prairie dust, C mining mud from yesterday's trail. D We shared a scrap of grease-stained paper C G and called it fate while we dodged the jail. [Pre-Chorus] C D Hey, what if this is it? What if the broken pieces fit? C D One crooked smile, one wicked grin, and I'm already ridin' in! [Chorus] G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! G D Deal me hard, then deal me slow. G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! G D G Darling, I like the way you go... C G One for the trail, one for the show! G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! [Verse 2] G You kept the folded wagon map C full of whiskey rings and crossed out towns. D I kept a pocket full of silver dollars C G for a card game that'd keep me down. G Then you said, "Spin it! Don't force it!" C like you knew my nervous hand. D We missed our camp by three whole miles C G and still it went according to the plan. [Pre-Chorus] C D Hey, what if this is it? What if the broken pieces fit? C D One crooked smile, one wicked grin, and I'm already ridin' in! [Chorus] G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! G D Deal me hard, then deal me slow. G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! G D G Darling, I like the way you go... C G One for the trail, one for the show! G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! [Guitar Solo / Fiddle Break] G C D G G C D G [Bridge] C If the hangman's keepin' tally, G I'm not countin' like before. C I just want your laugh in the saddle D and your hand upon the door. Am Call it love, call it trouble, C call it something I can't name. D When you smile like that, I swear, D even losin' feels the same. [Chorus] G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! G D Deal me hard, then deal me slow. G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! G D G Darling, I like the way you go... C G One for the trail, one for the show! G Wagon wheel, gamble! C Wagon wheel, gamble! [Outro] G Ooh... C Wagon wheel, gamble... G Ooh...
