Verse 1
Aldo's [Cm]standing at his table
And he's [Ab]wondering if he's able
To [Bb]pick the number right this time
He watches [Cm]as the wheel stops spinning
Sees the [Ab]number that is winning
As he [Bb]reaches for his glass of wine
Verse 2
[Cm]Once he starts it's [Ab]hard to stop
He's [Bb]keeping up a pace like a [F]tight wound clock
Be[Cm] sure you don't step [Ab]in his way
He'll [Bb]keep those numbers rolling
This may be his last day

Verse 3
As [Cm]all the bets are taken
Aldo [Ab]lights a smoke, he's shaking
From [Bb]carnation right to the ground
He [Cm]knows tonight holds one last chance
And [Ab]give the wheel a final glance
[Bb]Slippery fingers drop the money down
Verse 4
[Cm]Once he starts it's [Ab]hard to stop
He's [Bb]keeping up a pace like a [F]tight wound clock
And [Cm]as he leaves the table, [Ab]"No luck today"
You can [Bb]rest assured, he's coming back to try again
