Verse 1
Got a pretty s[G]mile, I can smile [Am]too. Smile so [D]big my head?s in [G]two.
You wanna be fr[Am]iends, you can be [D]mine. Keep you h[G]appy in the sunsh[Am]ine.
Take my h[D]and, it?s warm you can t[G]ell. Feel my h[Am]eart, it?s hotter than h[D]ell
I?ve been t[G]here and I can take you t[Am]oo, I can make al[D]l your bad dreams come t[G]rue.
(Slide Licks in G)
D Em C (5 times) end on D
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
It?s a confidence g[D]ame, I?m a confidence m[Em]an. Sure as I w[C]in, sure as I s[D]tand.
Tell you what I [Em]am, honest I ai[C]n?t. Stab you in the b[D]ack, smiling like a s[Em]aint.
Confidence m[C]an in a confidence g[D]ame, I?ll leave you with n[Em]othing but your s[C]hame.
Your mama w[D]arned about a confidence g[Em]ame, she?s been ta[C]ken in just the s[D]ame ? by a
confidence m[D]an.[Em][C][D]
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
D Em C (5 Times) end on D
The guitar solo is done on a dobro/resonator guitar, tuned to open G.
