Eddie had a few days comin' 
      C 
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt 
D 
Out to the land of supply and demand 
              G                D  
Where you can get anything you want 
G  
He wasn't lookin' for true love 
C  
No, he didn't believe in that stuff 
D 
Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man 
                              G 
Who just needed a little good luck 
    C      
His shoes were a little worn 
    G                 Em  
His hair was a little thin 
     Am          C/B   
Just another old sailor 
C              D            G    
Waitin' on his ship to come in 
 
 
G 
Lily was a two time loser 
              C 
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice 
    D 
She acted real tough, said once ain't enough 
    G                      D 
For me I learned my lesson twice 
    G 
But deep in her heart lived a young girl 
C 
Dreamin' a young girl's dream 
D 
And that young girl was who Eddie ran into 
                    G 
Over by the slot machines 
    C 
Her face was a little pale 
    G                  Em 
Her dress was a little thin 
       Am         C/B 
Oh but lookin' at her was like 
C           D          G 
Watchin' his ship come in 
 
 
G 
Well, he bought her a cup of coffee 
         C 
With the quarters he meant to play 
     D 
They went for a bite and they talked all night 
          G                        D 
'Til they said what they needed to say 
          G 
Then they found 'em an all night chapel 
       C  
With a heart shaped honeymoon suite 
    D 
And somewhere tonight in the neon light 
                    G 
Two hearts can't be beat 
         C  
And he's singin' a little song 
      G                 Em  
She's grinnin' a little grin 
    Am                   C/B   
And they're holdin' each other 
C              D         G 
Watchin' their ship come in 
 
    C 
Her face was a little pale 
    G                 Em   
His hair was a little thin 
            Am        C/B 
But they're two young lovers 
C              D         G 
Watchin' their ship come in 
     Am         C/B 
Just holdin' each other 
C              D         G 
Watchin' their ship come in
