This is a simple song in D major and predictably uses G and A major as
well,
along with the C major at the end of the verses and chorus, a device
which
JJ often uses. It's played on guitar with a smattering of fiddle,
especially in the bridge. In the first line in the second verse, I can't
quite figure out what the ~a something~ is, if anyone knows, email me.
Have Fun.

A man knocked upon the door, said "Don't you know you're gonna die some

We'll give to your mother, your kids and your wife

SOL RE
Two men were gambling in ~a something~ one night
LA
when a woman walked in with her dress up so tight.
SOL RE
She asked the two gentlemen would they fight for her name.
DO RE
They got up and shot her and went back to their game.
chorus
[bridge, all on a D chord except for the final C-D like the end of each
verse]
SOL RE
This aint no sad song, don't cry in your beer,
LA
for one day will come and we won't be here.
SOL RE
Somebody else will take up our game,
DO RE
different place, different name.
