[Verse 1] [Em] I found a brand on a pinewood bench, [C] take a chance on me [G] You laughed and bought two sour lemons, [D] just to see what the fool would say to me [Em] Your boots were caked with prairie dust, [C] mine had mud from yesterday's trail [G] We shared a scrap of grease-stained paper, [D] and called it fate while we dodged the jail [Chorus] [Em] Hey! What if this is it? What if [C] the broken pieces fit? [G] One crooked smile, one wicked grin, [D] and I'm already riding in [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, [C] wagon wheel, gamble [G] Deal me hard, then [D] deal me slow [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, [C] wagon wheel, gamble [G] Darlin', I like the [D] way you go [Am] One for the trail, [B7] one for the show [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, wagon wheel, gamble [Verse 2] [Em] We kept a folded wagon map, [C] full of whiskey rings and crossed-out towns [G] I kept a pocket full of silver dollars, [D] for a card game that'd keep me down [Em] Then you said, "Spin it! Don't force it," [C] like you knew my nervous hand [G] We missed our camp by three whole miles, [D] and still it went according to the plan [Chorus] [Em] Hey! What if this is it? What if [C] the broken pieces fit? [G] One crooked smile, one wicked grin, [D] and I'm already riding in [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, [C] wagon wheel, gamble [G] Deal me hard, then [D] deal me slow [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, [C] wagon wheel, gamble [G] Darlin', I like the [D] way you go [Am] One for the trail, [B7] one for the show [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, wagon wheel, gamble [Bridge] [C] If the hangman's keeping tally, [G] I'm not counting like before [D] I just want you laughin' in the saddle, [Em] and your hand upon the door [C] Call it luck, call it trouble, [G] call it something I can't name [A7] When you smile like that, I swear, [B7] even losin' feels the same [Outro] [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, [C] wagon wheel, gamble [G] Deal me hard, then [D] deal me slow [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble, [C] wagon wheel, gamble [G] Darlin', I like the [D] way you go [Am] One for the trail, [B7] one for the show [Em] Wagon wheel, gamble... [C] wagon wheel, gamble... [Em]
