" 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

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
