Jack of diamonds/ is a gambling man/ ["together were men"]

He played the tables /whenever he can/["while he can"]

Take some advice boy stay clean stay out of his way

Little jeannie is a dancing queen

/she's been/ ["she bounce 'n"] shaking it since she was sixteen

Skips across the tables acting out her passion play



It wasn't for money, it's only a chance

You take a gamble, got shot ["let's cut"] for romance



Chains, chains pulling you down

Chain of love that turns your world around

Chains chains pulling you down

Chain of love that turns your world around



Without a warning /jeannie took off/ ["she took off"] one night

Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight

He died on the floor someone else evens the score

Back on the tables/ jeannie's romance had died/ ["she's roaming tonight"]

That one look of love that told her a lie

And for her there's no waves crashing on seashores



* repeat



[instrumental]



Chains chains...chains chains...
