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