Tonart: Eb major
Verse 1
D
C
D
On a warm summer's evening,
G
D
on a train bound for nowhere,
met up with a gambler.
A
We were both too tired to speak,
D
so we took turns staring at the
G
D
window into darkness.
G
D
Boredom overtook us,
A
D
and he began to speak
He said, son, I've made a life
out of reading people's faces
Knowing what the cards were
A
by the way the health arrives
D
And if you don't mind me saying,
I can see you're out of aces
For a drink off 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 a cigarette,
asked me for a light
A
D
And the night got deathly quiet,
G
D
and his face lost all expression
G
If you're gonna play the game,
D
A
boy, 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
When you're sittin' at the table
D
There'll be time enough
G
D
for countin'
A
D
When the dealin' is done
Eb
Every gambler knows that the
Ab
Eb
secret to survivin'
He's known what to throw away,
Eb
Cos 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 towards the window
Crushed out a cigarette
Bb
and faded off to sleep
Eb
Somewhere in the darkness,
Ab
the gambler he broke even
Eb
Ab
Eb
And in his fi nal 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,
know when to run
Bb
Eb
Ab
You never count your money
Eb

when you're sitting at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

know when to run.
