Don't Let Your Deal Go Down
(Don't Ever Take Your Eye Off The Game)

Do[B7]nt ever take your eyes of[E7]f the game, babe
If [A7]you don't want your deal to g[D]o down
Don[B7]'t try to get away on a s[E7]unny day
Th[A7]ats the time to hang ar[D]ound

The[B7]yll try to tell you, ain[E7]t nothing wrong
You[A7]r shirt gets short, where it shoul[D]d be long
And s[B7]etting around singing tha[E7]t old love song
Don[A7]t let your deal go [D]down

All together now....(Chorus)(same chords)

Do[B7]nt let your de[E7]al go down
Don[A7]t let your deal go [D]down
Don[B7]t let your deal go down[E7] sweet mama
Til[A7]l your last gold dollar is[D] gone

Don[B7]t ever take your eye off th[E7]e scoreboard babe
Ther[A7]es a lot of pretty lights u[D]p there
Dont[B7] ever bet your ass on a snow wh[E7]ite horse
It m[A7]ight not be going a[D]nywhere

Now[B7] I dont mean to m[E7]ake you sad
But[A7] you are having the best time yo[D]u ever had
Its[B7] just your nature makes you[E7] wanna be bad
Don'[A7]t let your deal go [D]down

All together now:

Oh[B7] no dont let your deal[E7] go down
Don[A7]t let your deal go[D] down
Doo[B7]bidee,Doobidee do [E7]do ...down
Til[A7]l your last gold dollar [D]is gone

Instrumental:

No[B7]w I don't know what I said[E7] last night
I th[A7]ink it was about quarter t[D]o eight
I th[B7]ink things were going to [E7]go down
Beca[A7]use we couldnt commun-[D]-i--cate

But[B7] now, I think things are[E7] all right
Nobo[A7]dy knows when things go [D]bad,
Thi[B7]ngs have got to get[E7] better
If [A7]I dont want my deal to go [D]down

All together now:
Do[B7]nt let your deal [E7]go down....
