Got a pretty smile, I can smile too. Smile so big my head�s in two.
Am D G Am
You wanna be friends, you can be mine. Keep you happy in the sunshine.
D G Am D
Take my hand, it�s warm you can tell. Feel my heart, it�s hotter than hell
G Am D G
I�ve been there and I can take you too, I can make all your bad dreams come true.

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
D Em C D
It�s a confidence game, I�m a confidence man. Sure as I win, sure as I stand.
Em C D Em
Tell you what I am, honest I ain�t. Stab you in the back, smiling like a saint.
C D Em C
Confidence man in a confidence game, I�ll leave you with nothing but your shame.
D Em C D
Your mama warned about a confidence game, she�s been taken in just the same � by a
D Em C D
confidence man.
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.
