Verse 1
D
G
D
G
D
On a warm summer's evening,
G
D
a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler,
A
we were both too tired to sleep
D
So he took turns of staring out
G
D
the window in the darkness
G
D
For boredom overtook us,
A
D
he began to speak
He said, son, I've made a life
out
G
D
of reading people's faces
And knowing what the cards were
by the way they held their eyes
A
D
And if you don't mind me saying,
G
D
I can see you're out of vases
G
D
For a drink of your whiskey,
A
I'll give you some advice
D
So I handed him my bottle,
G
D
he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
A
and asked me for a light
D
And the night got deathly quiet
G
D
As his face lost all expression
G
D
He said, you're gonna play the game,
boy
A
Learn to play it right
D
He got nowhere to hold him
G
D
Nowhere to fold him
G
D
Nowhere to walk away
A
And nowhere to run
D
You never count your money
G
D
When you're sittin' at the table
G
D
There'll be time enough for countin'
A
D
When the deal's done
E
Every gambler knows
A
E
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
B
Knowin' what to keep
E
Cause every hand's a winner
A
and every hand's a loser
E
A
E
And the best that you can ask for
B
E
is to die in your sleep
When he'd finish speaking,
A
E
he'd turn back towards the window
Crushed out his cigarette
B
and faded off to sleep
E
Somewhere in the darkness,
A
E
the gambler he broke even
A
E
In his final words
B
E
I found an ace that I could keep
You got to know where to hold him
A
E
Know where to fold him
A
E
Know where to walk away
B
Know where to run
E
You never count your money
A
E
When you're sitting at the table
A
E
B
There'll be time to look for counsel
E
When the dealing's done
You've got to know where to hold em
A
E
Know where to fall em
A
E
Know where to walk away
B
Know when to run
E
You never count your money
A
E
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough
A
E
for countin'
B
E
When the dealin's done
You've got to know where to hold em
A
E
Know where to fall em
A
E
B
Nowhere to walk away, nowhere to run
E
You never count your money
A
E
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough
A
E
for countin'
B
E
When the dealin's done
