This is 'The Game' from Levelling the Land.....
Its in 4/4 timing and these chords start after 4 bars of the intro.
Dm F Gm B(flat) F B(flat)
Thats the basic chord progression.. for most of the song.
The first verse is as follows...
F B(flat) Dm F Gm B(flat)
The bar was dark, quiet and still and nothing could be
B(flat) F B(flat) Dm F Gm
heard, the dust lay undisturbed. At a table near the back ,underneath
B(flat) F B(flat) F B(flat)
a fan .... .two men shared a joke about the normal folk.
Dm C Gm B(flat) C F Dm
The cards are on the table .. .the winner takes it all... the game is
F Gm B(flat) C F
nearly over, one man about to fall ...
chorus
Dm B(flat) Dm B(flat) Dm B(flat) F
Well i don't believe in heaven .. i dont believe in hell,
Dm B(flat) Dm B(flat) C Dm
I dont believe what i am seeing .. this is no game cant you tell...
For the midle part the chords are : -
Dm Gm Dm Gm F B(flat)
The second verse is : -
I'm calling your bluff the first man said,
The people went to war .. they always wanted more.
And how could i ever fail to lose, i cant take it
any more, they don't want to learn the score.
The second man showed his hand,
some walked bare-foot 'cross the land,
and many have seen the future and are
doing the best they can ...
chorus
Third verse...
The clock ticked past the final hour,
and which of the men had lost, and what was the cost?
The glasses now where empty and gone
To wash away the shame and take away the pain.
One man left the table,
the other was head in hands,
He paid the bill for the defeated,
the only thing that's left that stands.
chorus(twice)
Hope you can work it out ......

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LEVELLERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
