Verse 1
(D major) On a (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) warm
summer's evening,
on a (G major) train bound for nowhere, (D major)
I met up with a gambler.
We were both too tired to (A major) sleep,
so we (D major) took turns a -staring.
Out the (G major) window at the dark (D major) ness,
till (G major) boredom overtook (D major) us,
and he began (A major) to speak (D major) .
He said, son, I've made a life out
of (G major) reading people's faces
(D major) And knowing what the cards were
by the way they held their (A major) eyes
So if (D major) you don't mind my saying,
I can see you're (G major) out of aces (D major)
For a taste of your whiskey,
I'll (A major) give you some ad (D major) vice
So I handed him my bottle
and he (G major) drank down my last (D major) swallow
Then he bombed a cigarette
and asked me for a (A major) light
And the (D major) night got deathly quiet
And his (G major) face lost all expres (D major) sion
Said if you're (G major) gonna play the game, (D major) boy
You gotta (A major) learn to play it (D major) right
You got to know when to hold up
Know (G major) when to fold (D major) up
Know (G major) (D major) when to walk away
And know when to run (A major)
You never (D major) count your money
When you're (G major) sittin' at the table
(D major) There'll be time enough (G major) for (D major) countin'
When (A major) the dealin's (D major) done
Every (E flat major) gambler knows
That the (A flat major) secret to surviv (E flat major) in'
Is knowin' what to throw away
Knowin' what to keep (B flat major)
Cause (E flat major) every hand's a winner,
and (A flat major) every hand's a (E flat major) loser
And the (A flat major) best that you can hope (E flat major) for
is to die (B flat major) in your sleep
(E flat major) And when he finished speaking,
he (A flat major) turned back toward the win (E flat major) dow
Crushed out a cigarette,
faded off to sleep (B flat major)
And some (E flat major) where in the darkness,
the (A flat major) gambler he broke (E flat major) even
But (A flat major) in his final word (E flat major) s
I (B flat major) found an ace that I could keep (E flat major)
You got no when to hold up,
no (A flat major) when to fold (E flat major) up
No (A flat major) when to walk (E flat major) away
and no when to run (B flat major)
You never (E flat major) count (A flat major) your money (E flat major)
When you're (A flat major) sittin' at the table
(E flat major) There'll be time enough (A flat major) to coun (E flat major) t
When (B flat major) the dealin's (E flat major) done,
you got no when to hold up
No (A flat major) when to fold (E flat major) up,
(A flat major) no when to walk (E flat major) away
No when (D major) to run (B flat major) ,
you never (E flat major) count your (A flat major) money
(E flat major) When you're (A flat major) sittin' at the table, (E flat major)
there'll be time enough for countin'
(B flat major) When the dealin's (E flat major) done,
you got no when to hold up
Know (A flat major) when to fold (E flat major) them,
(A flat major) know when to walk (E flat major) away,
know when to run (B flat major)
You never (E flat major) count your (A flat major) money
(E flat major) when you're (A flat major) sittin' at the table
(E flat major) There'll be time enough (A flat major) countin' (E flat major)
when (B flat major) the deal is (E flat major) done
