G C G
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
C G C D
I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep
G C G
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
C G D G
til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
G C G
He said Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces
C G C D
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
G C G
And if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces
C G D G
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
C G C D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
C G D G
Said If you're gonna play the game boy ya gotta learn to play it right
CHORUS:
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
C G C D
know when to walk away and know when to run
G C G
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
D C G
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
C G C D
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
G C G
Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser
C G D G
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
G C G
And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back towards the window
C G C D
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
G C G
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
C G D G
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
