| Am                     G           | 
   He was sitting in the barroom, 
| F                    C          | 
   I was sitting there alone. 
| Am                   G        | 
   A man came in, he was a stranger, 
| F                  C         | 
   And he ordered up a drink. 

| Am                  G          | 
   He said, "I hear you're a gambler, 
| F                    C          | 
   And I want to play a game." 
| Am                   G          | 
   I said, "You don't know what you’re doing, 
| F                C          | 
   And you might lose your life." 

| Am                  G          | 
   Then the lights went out in Georgia, 
| F                  C          | 
   And it was dark as night. 
| Am                  G          | 
   The devil came and took his soul, 
| F              C          | 
   And there was no more light. 

| Am                  G          | 
   Back at home, they were waiting, 
| F                   C          | 
   For a woman to come back home. 
| Am                  G          | 
   But the night was long and lonely, 
| F                   C          | 
   And it was the night the lights went out.
