Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city

You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

Well, the first time I lose a drink of whiskey 

And the second time I lose a drink of gin, 

Third time I lose a drink of anything 

Cause I think I'm gonna win. 
A                                                  E

Well, the queen of spades is a friend of mine 

The queen of hearts is a bitch 
A 
Some day when I clean up my mind 
A 
I'll think I'm gonna win. 
A                                                  E

Spend all night with a dealer 

Just trying to get ahead, 

Spend all day at the Holiday Inn 

Just trying to get out of bed 
A                                                  E 
Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me 
A                                                  E 
Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me 
       D 
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city 
      A                                    E 
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me 

       D 
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city 
      A                                    E 
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me 
       D 
Ev'ry time I hit your crystal city 
      A                                    E 
You know you're gonna make a wreck out of me
