[Verse 1]
G              Cm7
Join me at the table
         Em7             Ebdim
If you'd like to place a bet
         Em7                    F#m7b5
All the cash that's filling your pockets
Cm7                G
Is waiting to be spent
Fdim7                  Am7
I know you've never played but
             B7
Drinks are free
             C#m7b5
It's so bizarre
Em7                  A7
Even if you lose a few chips
Cm7                  G
It's cheaper than the bar
*last line is in 6/4 time*
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Beginner's luck
          A7
Is on your side
Cm7        F7
You've got dollar
D7     B7
Signs inside
       Em
Your eyes
[Chorus]
Em              A7
The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em                    A7
If you get too stuck just bluff
Em                     D
The beginner's luck is tough
[Verse 2]
G               Cm7
The king extends his hand
Em7             Ebdim
He looks into my palm
Em7                   F#m7b5
I don't know if he wants to shake it
Cm7              G
Or cut it from my arm
Fdim7            Am7
The dealer sits a-washing
B7                   C#m7b5
All the burn cards from the deck
Em7                         A7
I think he might be trying to clean them
Cm7                   G
But I'd have to double check
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Beginner's luck
          A7
Is on your side
Cm7        F7
You've got dollar
D7     B7
Signs inside
       Em
Your eyes
[Chorus]
Em              A7
The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em                    A7
If you get too stuck just bluff
Em                     D
The beginner's luck is tough
[Verse 3]
G              Cm7
All your money's scared
Em7                       Ebdim
And you're down to betting skins
Em7                         F#min7b5
But have you heard of a trick called spooking?
Cm7            G
It'll help you win
Fdim7                     Am7
But tricks are just for children
B7            C#m7b5
And cheating is a sin
Em7                                  A7
And now you're down to the felt on the table
Cm7                   G
And security's moving in
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Beginner's luck
A7
Of course backfired
Cm7         F7
Caught red-handed
D7     B7
By the eye
         Em
In the sky
[Chorus]
Em              A7
The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em              A7
The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em              A7
The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em                       A7
If you get too stuck just bluff
Em                  D
The beginner's luck is tough (ooh la)
Em             A7
The beginner's luck (ooh la)
Em               D
Now don't mess it up (ooh la)

The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em              A7
The beginner's luck
Em                D
Now don't mess it up
Em                       A7
If you get too stuck just bluff
Em                        D
The beginner's luck is tough (ooh)
