I love this song but it is too hard too play for me
in original version. Somebody posted it with using
a Capo and this is brilliant. I took over but adjusted
tab 9-16. Jens F.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
VERSE 2:
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
CHORUS:
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
VERSE 3:
he may play the jack of diamonds
he may lay the queen of spades
he may conceal a king in his hand
while the memory of it fades
-CHORUS-
VERSE 4:
and if i told you that i loved you
you'd maybe think there's something wrong
i'm not a man of too many faces
the mask i wear is one
-CHORUS-
VERSE 5:
those who speak know nothing
and find out to their cost
like those who curse their luck in too many places
and those who fear are lost
