" guy down there..."

(C7) (BASS WALK)

I used to hang out, down at Jack's Pool Hall

You go down there, don't do nothin' at all

You wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back

You wanted to shoot of somethin', you went and talked to Jack

If you had a little money you was a grade A fool

There was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool

C7

Rack ‘em up (ADD GUITAR, MODERATE SHUFFLE)

C7

Rack ‘em up

F9

Rack ‘em up

C7

Rack ‘em up

G9(10TH)

Till the day he was dead,

F9 C7 A7 D G7(3RD)

that all they ever said was rack ‘em up

C7

He didn't own a TV set, he didn't own no car

(C9)

He ate whatever Jack was makin' back behind the bar

They said he had a wife but, she left him in tears

(..........ALL STOP - VOCAL ONLY..........)

He hadn't been home once in twenty-five years

C7

Rack ‘em up

Rack ‘em up

GUITAR SOLO ("RACK ‘EM UP" X 2)

F9

They come from all over thinkin' they were pretty hot

C7

They put the money on the table, wanna play the best we got

F9

Nine in the corner, five in the side

C7

Take a hundred dollar bill and just, let it ride

F9

I'd tell him, "listen hear sonny, there ain't no disaster

G9 (ALL STOP - VOCAL ONLY.........DRUM....)

there ain't no shame in bein' beaten by a master"

C7

Rack ‘em up

C7

Rack ‘em up

F9

Yea, rack ‘em up

C7

Rack ‘em up, rack ‘em up

G9 C7 A7 D G7(3RD)

Til' the day he was gone, they said it all day long rack ‘em up
