Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) On a
(D major) warm
summer's evening,
on a (G major) train about for nowhere
(D major) I met up with the gambler,
we were both too tired to sleep (A major)
So we (D major) took turns at staring
through the (G major) window at the dark (D major) ness
When the (G major) border mover took (D major) us,
(A major) he began to speak (D major)
He said, son, I've made my life
out (G major) of reading people's faces
(D major) Knowing what the cards were
by the way they held their (A major) eyes
So if (D major) you don't mind me saying,
I can (G major) see you're out of (D major) ashes
For (G major) a taste of your whis (D major) key,
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 bummed a cigarette
and asked me for (A major) a light
And the (D major) night got deathly quiet
and his (G major) face lost all expres (D major) sion
He said, if (G major) you're gonna play the game,
(D major) boy, you gotta (A major) learn to play it (D major) right
You got nowhere to hold it, nowhere (G major) to fall (D major) it,
(G major) nowhere to walk (D major) away, nowhere to run (A major)
You never (D major) count your (G major) money
(D major) when you're (G major) sitting at the table
(D major) There'll be time enough (G major) for counting (D major)
when (A major) the dealing's (D major) done
Every (E flat major) gambler knows the
(A flat major) secret to surviv (E flat major) ing
is knowing what to throw away
and knowing what to keep (B flat major)
Cause (E flat major) every hand's a winner
and (A flat major) every hand's a loser
(E flat major) and the (A flat major) best you can hope (E flat major) for
is to die (B flat major) in your (E flat major) sleep
And when the finish began,
he (A flat major) turned back to the win (E flat major) dow
Crushed out his cigarette
and faded off to sleep (B flat major)
And some (E flat major) where in the darkness,
the (A flat major) gambler he broke even (E flat major)
And (A flat major) in his final word (E flat major) s,
I found a (B flat major) nest that I could (E flat major) keep
You got nowhere to hold it,
(A flat major) nowhere to fold (E flat major) it
Nowhere (A flat major) to walk (E flat major) away,
nowhere 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) for countin' (E flat major)
When (B flat major) the dealin's (E flat major) done
You got nowhere to hold
Nowhere to fold
Nowhere to walk away, nowhere (B flat major) to run
You never (E flat major) count your money
When you're (A flat major) sittin' at the table
(E flat major) There'll be time enough for countin'
When (B flat major) the dealin's (E flat major) done
You got nowhere to hold it
Nowhere (A flat major) to fold (E flat major) it
Nowhere (A flat major) to walk (E flat major) away
Nowhere 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) for countin' (E flat major)
(B flat major) When the dealin's done you
