Hey blackjack dealer, hit me man
Bright lights city gonna set my soul gonna set my soul on fire
I got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn so get those stakes up high
F#m
There's a thousand pretty women just-a waiting out there
They're all living just the devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
D A D A
So Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
I wish that there were more than twenty-four hours in a day
Even if there were forty more I wouldn't sleep a minute away
F#m
There's blackjack, poker, and roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need is money and nerves of steel
D A D A
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
D
Well viva Las Vegas with the neon flashing
A
And the walls crashing all your hopes down the drain
D
Yeah viva Las Vegas turning day into nighttime
E
Turning night into daytime if you seen it once you'll never be the same again
(Guitar solo) | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | A
I'm gonna be on the run I'm gonna have me some fun if it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke, well, I'll always remember that I had me a swinging time
F#m
I'm gonna give it everything I got
Lady Luck I want you let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
D A D A D A D A
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas , viva Las Vegas
D E A
Viva, viva Las Vegas busted
(fade out) Hey man, you going anywhere near Vegas?
