Tonart: Eb major•
Verse 1
Eb
On a warm summer's eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a- starin'
Ab
Eb
Out the window at the darkness
Ab
Eb
The boredom overtook us,
And he began to speak
He said, ""Son, I've made a life
Ab
Eb
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
Bb
By the way they held their eyes
Eb
So if you don't mind me sayin'
Ab
Eb
I can see you're out of aces
Ab
Eb
For a taste of your whiskey
Bb
Eb
I'll give you some advice""
So I handed him my bottle
Ab
Eb
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
Bbsus4
And asked me for a light
Eb
And the night got deathly quiet
Ab
Eb
And his faced lost all expression
Ab
He said, ""If you're gonna
Bb
Eb
You gotta learn to play it right
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Ab
Eb
Know when to fold 'em
Ab
Eb
Know when to walk away
Bb
And know when to run
Eb
You never count your money
Ab
Eb
When you're sittin' at the table
Ab
Eb
There'll be time enough for countin'
Bb
Eb
When the dealin's done
A
E
That the secret to survivin'
A
E
Is knowin' what to throw away
B
And knowin' what to keep
E
'Cause every hand's a winner
A
E
And every hand's a loser
A
E
B
And the best that you can hope for is to die
And when he finished speakin'
A
E
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
E
And somewhere in the darkness
A
E
The gambler he broke even
A
E
But in his final words
B
I found an ace that I could keep
A
E
You've got to know when to hold 'em
A
E
Know when to fold 'em
A
E
Know when to walk away
E
A
E
You never count your money
A
E
When you're sittin' at the table
A
E
There'll be time enough for countin'
B
E
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold
E
A

You never count your money
A

When you're sittin' at the table
