Tonart: G major
Verse 1
G
On a warm summer's eve,
on a train bound to nowhere,
Met up with a gambler,
we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turn a -staring,
out a window where the darkness,
The boardner overtook us.
And he began to speak, he said,
son I've made a life,
Out of reading people's faces,
D
Knowing what the cards were,
G
by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my saying,
D
G
I can see you're out of aces
D
For a taste of your whiskey,
G
I'll give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle,
and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette,
D
and asked me for a light
G
The night got deathly quiet,
and his face lost all expression
Said, if you're gonna play the game,
D
boy, you gotta learn to play it right
G
You gotta know when to hold it,
know when to fold it
Know when to walk away,
G
You never count your money
when you're sittin' at a table
Won't there be time in our account
D
G
when the deal is done?
Every gambler knows that
a secret to surviving
is knowing what to throw away,
D
is knowing what to keep.
G
Cause every hand's a winner,
every hand's a loser,
and the best that you can hope for
D
is to die in this league.
G
And when he finished eatin'
he turned back for the winnow
Crushed out his cigarette,
G
And somewhere in the darkness
the gambler he broke even
And in his final words
D
G
I found the names that I will keep
You gotta know where to hold him
Know when to fall him
Know when to walk away
G
you never count your money
When you're sitting at a table
There'll be time enough for counting

G
You gotta know when to hold it,

There'll be time enough for countin'

You gotta know where to hold them,

You never count your money
when you're sitting at a table.
There'll be time enough for counting
G
You gotta know when to hold it,
know when to follow it,
know when to walk away,
G
You never count your money
when you're sitting at a table.
There'll be time enough for counting
