Tonalité : Eb major
Verse 1
A
D
On a warm summer's eve,
G
D
on a train bound for nowhere,
Met up with a gambler,
A
we were both too tired to sleep.
D
So we took turns
G
D
staring out the window at the darkness.
G
D
The bottom overtook us,
A
D
and he began to speak.
He said, son,
I made a life out of read
G
D
ing people's faces,
Knowing what the cards were
A
by the way they held their eyes.
D
So if you don't mind my saying,
G
D
I can see you're out of aces,
For a taste of your whiskey,
A
D
I'll give you some advice.
So I handed him my bottle
G
D
and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed his cigarette
A
and asked me for a light
D
And the night got deathly quiet
G
D
and his face lost all expression
G
D
If you're gonna play the game,
A
boy, you gotta learn to play it right
D
You got no when to hold it,
G
D
no when to fold it,
G
D
no when to walk away,
A
no when to run
D
G
D
You never count your money
G
when you're sitting at a table
D
G
D
There'll be time enough for counting
A
D
when the deal is done
Eb
Every gambler knows that
Ab
Eb
the secret to surviving
is knowing what to throw away
and knowing what to keep
Bb
Eb
Cause every hand's a winner
Ab
Eb
and every hand's a loser
Ab
Eb
and the best that you can hope for
Bb
Eb
is to die in your sleep
And when he finished speaking,
Ab
Eb
he turned back toward the window
Crossed out his cigarette
Bb
and faded off to sleep
Eb
And somewhere in the darkness,
Ab
Eb
the gambler he broke even
Ab
Eb
But in his final words
Bb
Eb
I found a taste that I could keep
You got no when to hold it,
Ab
Eb
no when to fold it,
Ab
Eb
no when to walk away,
Bb
no when to run it,
Eb
Ab
you never count your money
Eb
Ab
Eb
When you're sitting at the table,
Ab
Eb
there'll be timing of the counting
Bb
Eb
when the dealing's done
You got no when to hold it,
Ab
Eb
no when to fold it,
Ab
Eb
Bb
no when to walk away, no when to run
Eb
Ab
Eb
You never count your money
Ab
when you're sittin' at the table
Eb
Ab
Eb
There'll be time enough for countin'
Bb
Eb
when the dealin' starts
Ab
Eb
You got nowhere to hold it, nowhere to fall in,
Ab
Eb
nowhere to walk away,
Bb
nowhere to run to now
Eb
Ab
Count your money
Eb
Ab
when you're sittin' at the table
Eb
Ab
Eb
There'll be time enough for countin'
Bb
Eb
when your dealin ''s done you
