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
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
G
You never count your money
D
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
Eb
is to die in your sleep
And when he finished speaking,
Ab
Eb
he turned back toward the window
Crushed out a cigarette
Bb
and laid it off to sleep
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 to know when to hold up,
Ab
Eb
know when to fold up
Ab
Eb
Know when to walk away
Bb
and know when to run
Eb
Ab
You never count your money
Eb
Ab
when you're sitting at the table
Eb

There'll be time enough for counting
Bb

when the dealing's done
You got no when to hold them,
Ab

no when to fold them,
Ab
Eb
D
Bb
no when to walk away, no when to run
Eb

You never count your money
Eb

when you're sitting at the table

no when to fold them,
Ab

no when to walk away, no when to run
Eb

There'll be time enough to count
