[Verse 1:]
G C G
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
D
I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep
G C G
So we took turns a staring out the window at the darkness
C G D G
Till boredom overtook us and he began to speak
[Verse 2:]
G C G
He said Son I've made a life out of reading people's faces
D
And knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
G C G
So if you don't mind my saying I can see you're out of aces
C G D G
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice
[Verse 3:]
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
C G D G
Said if you're gonna play the game boy ya gotta learn to play it right
[Chorus]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
C G D
know when to walk away and know when to run
G C G C G
You never count your money when you're sitting at the table
C G D G
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealings done
[Verse 4:]
C G
Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving
D
Is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
G C G
Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
C G D G
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
[Verse 5:]
C G
And when he'd finished speaking he turned back towards the window
D
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
G C G
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
C G D G
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
[Chorus]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
C G D
know when to walk away and know when to run
G C G C G
You never count your money when you're sitting at the table
C G D G
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealings done
{Repeat Chorus}
