Ace In The Hole
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as performed by George Strait
notated by Greg Vaughn ()

As written in Bb, 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.

A
Bb
You've got to have an ace in the hole
         D7                 A     A7
         Eb7                Bb    Bb7
A little secret that nobody knows
D         D#dim7    A/E                  F#7
Eb        Edim7     Bb/F    Bb(#5)/F#    G7#5
Life is a gamble, a game we all          play
                B7                           E        E7
        C7                           F        F7
But you need to save something for a rainy day
       A
       Bb
You've got to learn to play your card right
   D7                   A    A7
   Eb7                  Bb   Bb7
If you expect to win in life
      D          D#dim7      A/E          F#7
      Eb6        Edim7       Bb/F         G7#5
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
       B7             E7         A
       C7             F7         Bb(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 Bb(#5)/F#

Bb       Eb7      Bb7      Eb       Edim7    Bb/F     G7#5
1111116  :111116  1111116  :111116  |||1||6  :|||116  ::11113
|||2||   :|||||   |||2||   :|||||   |2||||   :||2||   ::|34|
|34|||   :|3|4|   |3||||   :|333|   ||3|4|   :34|||

C7       F        F7       Eb6        I often use plain Eb
:111113  111111   111111   |:1||:10   instead of Eb6.
:|||||   |||2||   |||2||   2:||3:
:|3|4|   |34|||   |3||||   |:|4|:

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.
