Ace In The Hole
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as performed by George Strait
notated by Greg Vaughn (gvaughn@.net)

As written in , this song may be difficult for some of you (I still
can't make all the chord switches smoothly) so I've included a simplified
version in A You can play these chords along with the recording if you
capo the first fret.

You've got to have an ace in the hole
A little secret that nobody knows
                 (#5)/    #5
Life is a gamble, a game we all          play
But you need to save something for a rainy day
You've got to learn to play your card right
If you expect to win in life
                              #5
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
                             (x13331)
You've got to have an ace in the hole

2: If you're headed down a one way street
   And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go
   In money or love or all the above
   Have a little more than what you show
   When life deals out a surprise
   Have a few surprises of your own
   No matter what you do, no matter where you go
   You've got to have an ace in the hole

Chords I use (but they are by no means the only choice):
I still am not comfortable with the (#5)/

                                   #5
1111116  :111116  1111116  :111116  |||1||6  :|||116  ::11113

                              I often use plain 
:111113  111111   111111   |:1||:10   instead of .

To really get the Western Swing sound you want to hit the bass notes
on beats 1 and 3 and strum the whole chord on 2 and 4, but muffle it
quickly to get a percussive BOOM-chick BOOM-chick sound. If any of
you are more adventurous and would like some "swing-ier" sounding
chords, I've got some suggestions from Bo Parker that I'll be happy
to share with you.
