Capo 1st Fret
(In a moderate country half-time)
RE SOL/RE RE
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
LAI met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
SOL/RE RE LA RE'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
LAand knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
RE SOL/RE REAnd if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
RE SOL RE
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
RE SOL REAnd the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
SOL RE LA RESaid, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
RE SOL RE
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
SOL RE LAknow when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
SOL RE LA REThere'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
[Slide capo to 2nd fret]
RE SOL RE
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
LAis knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
SOL RE LA REand the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
LAcrushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
RE SOL REAnd somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
