Verse 1
Eb
On a warm summer's evening
Ab
Eb
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
Bb
We were both too tired to sleep
Eb
So we took turns a-starin'
Ab
Eb
Out the window at the darkness
Ab
Eb
The boredom overtook us
Bb
Eb
And he began to speak
Verse 2
Eb
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 my 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"
Verse 3
Eb
So I handed him my bottle
Ab
Eb
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
Bb
And asked me for a light
Eb
And the night got deathly quiet
Ab
Eb
And his face lost all expression
Ab
Eb
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
Bb
Eb
You gotta learn to play it right

Know when to fold 'em

And know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealin's done
Verse 4
A
E
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
B
And knowin' what to keep

'Cause every hand's a winner

And every hand's a loser
A

And the best that you can hope for
B

Is to die in your sleep"

And when he'd finished speakin'
A
E
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette

And somewhere in the darkness

The gambler he broke even

But in his final words I found
B
E
an ace that I could keep
