The Gambler
G
D
On a warm summer's evening
G
D
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with The Gambler
A
We were both too tired to sleep
D
So we took turns of staring
G
D
Out the window at the darkness
G
D
Till Boro overtook us
A
D
And he began to speak
He said, son, I've made a lot
G
D
Out of reading people's faces
And knowing what their 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 faces
G
D
For a taste of the whiskey
A
D
I give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle,
G
D
and he drank down my last swallow
And then he bummed a cigarette,
A
and asked me for a light
D
And the night got deathly quiet,
G
D
and his face lost all expression
G
He said if you're gonna play
A
you gotta learn to play it right
D
You got to know when to hold it,
G
D
know when to fold it,
G
D
know when to walk away,
D
G
You never count your money
D
G
sitting at the 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
Bb
and knowing what to keep
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 sleep
And when he finished speaking,
Ab
Eb
Ab
Eb
he turned back toward the window
Crushed out a cigarette,
Bb
and faded out to sleep
Eb
He headed somewhere in the darkness,
Ab
the gambler he broke even
Eb
Ab
Eb
But in his final words
Bb
Eb
I found an ace that I could keep
You got to know when to hold him,
Ab
Eb
know when to fold him,
Ab
Eb
know when to walk away,
Eb
Ab
You never pounced your money
Eb

while sitting at the table
