VERSE 2
I like small towns and the people there. Easier money than welfare.
What does it take to get a handout? A sucker to trust you without a doubt.
But they need me and I need them, we’re all red-blooded working men.
Good or bad, where do I stand? Between the devil and a dollar is a confidence man.
CHORUS
G Am F G
It’s a confidence game, I’m a confidence man. Sure as I win, sure as I stand.
Am F G Am
Tell you what I am, honest I ain’t. Stab you in the back, smiling like a saint.
F G Am F
Confidence man in a confidence game, I’ll leave you with nothing but your shame.
G Am F G
Your mama warned about a confidence game, she’s been taken in just the same – by a
G Am F G
confidence man.
VERSE 3
When the market dies like it always does everybody’s pockets are lighter than they was.
Evrybody’s mad everybody’s pissed They can’t believe that they were taken by a scam like this
Still they can’t even understand, how they got swindled by an ordinary man
They pay the price, that’s why I came, to make ‘em all losers in a confidence game.
CHORUS
SLIDE LICKS IN G
G Am F (5 Times) end on G
The guitar solo is done on a dobro/resonator guitar, tuned to open G.
