[Intro:]
[Verse 1]
D G D
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
G D G A
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
D G D
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
G D A D
'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
[Verse 2]
D G D
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
G D G A
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
D G D
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
G D A D
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
[Verse 3]
D G D
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
G D G A
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
D G D
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
G D A
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn
D
to play it right.
[Chorus]
D G D
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
G D G A
know when to walk away and know when to run.
D G D
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
G D A D
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
[Four counts before Transpose to E]
[Verse 4]
E A E
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
A E A B
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
E A E
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
A E B E
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Verse 5]
E A E
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
A E A B
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
[Silently]
E A E
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
A E B E
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus]
E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
A E A B
know when to walk away and know when to run.
E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
A E B E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
[Drums and claps]
E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
A E A B
know when to walk away and know when to run.
E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
A E B E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
[Full band]
E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,

know when to walk away and know when to run.
E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
A E B E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
