G C G On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere, C G C D I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. G C G So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness C G D G 'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. [Verse 2] G C G He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces, C G C D and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. G C G And if you don't mind my sayin', 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. C G C 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 C D know when to walk away and know when to run. G C G You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. C G D G There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. [Transpose +2) [Verse 4] A D A Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin' D A D E is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep. A D A 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser, D A E A and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep." [Verse 5] A D A Now so when he finished talkin' , he turned back towards the window, D A D E crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. A D A And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. D A E A But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep. [Chorus] A D A You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, D A D E know when to walk away and know when to run. A D A You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. D A E A There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. A D A You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, D A D E know when to walk away and know when to run. A D A You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. D A E A There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
