Verse 1
D
a warm summer's evening
G
D
On a train bound from nowhere,
I met up with the gambler
A
We were both too tired of sleep,
D
so we took turns of staring
I had a window at the doctor's
to board him over tookies
A
D
And he commenced to speak,
he said, son, I made a life
G
D
I had to read in people's faces,
but knowing what the cards were
A
By the way they held their eyes
D
And if you mind my saying
G
D
That I can see you're out of aces
G
For a taste of your whiskey
D
A
I'll give you some advice
D
So I handed him my bottle
G
D
And he drank down mine and swallowed
And then he bummed the cigarette
A
And asked me for a light
D
And the night got deadly quiet
G
And his face lost all expression
D
G
D
Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy
A
D
You gotta learn to play it right
You got no end to holdin'
G
D
No end to foldin'
G
D
No end to walk away
D
G
You never count your money
D
G
When you're sittin' at the table
G
D
enough for counting,
A
D
when the deal is done?
Eb
Every gambler knows,
Ab
Eb
that the secret to survival,
is knowing what to throw away,
Bb
and knowing what to keep.
Eb
Cause every hand's a winner,
Ab
just like every hand's a loser
Eb
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 to the window
Crushed down his cigarette,
Bb
and faded up to sleep
Eb
Somewhere in the darkness,
Ab
the gambler he broke even
Eb
Ab
But in his final words,
Eb
Bb
Eb
I found an ace that I could keep
You got no end to holdin',
Ab
Eb
no end to foldin'
Ab
Eb
Bb
No end to walk away, no end to run
Eb
Ab
You never count your money
Eb
Ab
while you're sittin' at the table
Eb
Ab
Eb
There'll be time enough for countin'
Bb
Eb
when the deal is done
You got no when to hold up,
Ab
Eb
no when to fold up,
Ab
Eb
Bb
no when to walk away, no when to run
Ab
Eb

You never count your money
Eb

while you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for counting
