Topic: Pocket Aces!!

Pocket Aces…( I Got Flushed in Denver)
Lyrics by Midnight..Chords by Oldnewbie..Corrections by..Topdown

Playing for that big cash down in Denver
At some casino, I don’t remember

Texas hold ‘em was the game
Poker’s greatest claim to fame
On a Sunday morning in late September

Playing for big cash down in Denver
Playing for big cash down in Denver

Dealer dealt me…pocket aces
I’m no good with poker faces
Playing for big cash down in Denver
Who was there, I don’t remember

I was down to my last grand
Knew I had to make a stand
It’s gonna be now or never

Playing for big cash down in Denver
Playing for big cash down in Denver

Bets were made but I just called
Slow playing it, my back to the wall
Made them think, they were all contenders
Playing for big cash down in Denver

A steely-eyed prick sat across from me
Staring me down,  just wait and see
What he was holding, I would remember
On a Sunday morning in late September

Flop comes up with a pair of Kings
My hearts a pounding, I hate them things
Knew it was gonna be now or never
On a Sunday morning in late September

Steely-eyed Dick said I’m all in
I looked up and had to grin
Another Ace came up on the river

Playing for big cash down in Denver
Playing for big cash down in Denver

I stood up and said let’s play
He stood up and said ok
Not a good sign, he was a contender

Playing for big cash down in Denver
Playing for big cash down in Denver

Flipped my cards over, I said aces over kings
He said, straight flush, Ace high string...
In a casino down in Denver
A losing hand I still remember

Playing for big cash down in Denver
Playing for big cash down in Denver

I fingerpicked a very simple 4/4 pattern that seemed to work okay.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: Pocket Aces!!

Yeah, I get kind of upset when I see poker on ESPN, which is supposed to be for sports.  Poker, while a lot of fun, is NOT a sport!  smile

Re: Pocket Aces!!

Neat song Midnight, but one thing confuses me.

You had pocket aces, plus an ace on the river. Add that to the 2 kings on the flop and your full house beats his flush. Now if he had a ace high straight flush you do lose, but the odds of that with the other 3 aces on the board in your favor are astronomical - (I bet James could figure it out). Maybe you want to change the "ace high flush" to "straight flush". Still a cool song - and I liked chords too ON.

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: Pocket Aces!!

You put more thought into that one than I did!  Good catch, Mr. Down! (and thanks)

Re: Pocket Aces!!

Midnight -

I made the lyrics change in the song posting.  Nice job fitting that in!

I really like the way this one sounds when fingerpicked. I've been playing it for two days now, it makes me think of a smokey poker parlor (and, of course, it's raining outside). I'd love to hear you record it.

Cool song.

I guess the subtitle "I got flushed in Denver" doesn't work anymore!?  smile

Re: Pocket Aces!!

I am glad you like it! I don't know if I should be the "go to" or not, I just hit on one that I liked, and you got me started with the Em!

I would be excited to take a stab at anything you need help with!

I have noticed, though, some of the chordians questioning the posting of music-less lyrics (aka poems), so maybe you should e-mail me anything else, and, when I post it, I will give you the lyrical credit, or I can send it back to you for posting!
