E A E
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
E B7
I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep
E A E
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
B7 E
til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
Verse:
E A E
He said Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces
B7
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
E A E
And if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces
A E B7 E
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice
Verse:
E A E
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
B7
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
E A E
And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
A E B7 E
Said If you're gonna play the game boy ya gotta learn to play it right
Chorus:
E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
A E B7
know when to walk away and know when to run
E A E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
E A E B7 E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
Verse 4 - key change -:
F Bb F
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
C
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
F Bb F
Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser
Bb F C F
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
Verse:
F Bb F
And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back towards the window
C7
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
F Bb F
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
Bb F C7 F
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
Chorus:
F Bb F
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
Bb F C7
know when to walk away and know when to run
F Bb F Bb F
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
F Bb F C7 F
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
Chorus - a cappella -
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
Chorus:
E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
A E B7
know when to walk away and know when to run
E A E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
E A E B7 E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
