G
D
On a warm
summer's evening,
G
D
on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with a gambler.
A
We were both too tired to sleep,
D
so we took turns a -staring.
G
D
Out the window at the darkness,
G
D
till boredom overtook us,
A
D
and he began to speak.
He said, son, I've made a life out
G
of reading people's faces
D
And 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 bombed 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
D
Said if you're gonna play the game, boy
A
D
You gotta learn to play it right
You got to know when to hold up
G
D
Know when to fold up
G
D
Know when to walk away
D
You never count your money
G
When you're sittin' at the table
D
G
D
There'll be time enough for countin'
A
D
When the dealin's done
Ab
Eb
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
Bb
Knowin' 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
is to die in your sleep
Eb
And when he finished speaking,
Ab
Eb
he turned back toward the window
Crushed out a cigarette,
Eb
And somewhere in the darkness,
Ab
Eb
the gambler he broke even
Ab
Eb
But in his final words
Bb
Eb
I found an ace that I could keep
You got no when to hold up,
Ab
Eb
no when to fold up
Ab
Eb
No when to walk away
Eb
Ab
Eb
You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough to count
Bb
Eb
When the dealin's done,

Ab
Eb
No when to fold up,
Ab
Eb
no when to walk away
D
Bb
No when to run,
Eb
Ab
you never count your money
Eb

When you're sittin' at the table,

Ab
Eb
know when to walk away,
Eb

when you're sittin' at the table
