Hi guys, Party Marty here, Easy Guitar Tunes.
I got another request, a great old country singer named Kenny Rogers, The Gambler.
I know everybody in the world knows this song.
Anybody who's ever picked up a guitar probably half knows how to play it.
But anyway, yeah, this is a great tune to put on the channel.
I'm very proud to do it.
So anyway, this is for you, one of my subscribers.
And let's give this one a go.
It's pretty easy to tune, actually.
And you know what?
It's a great tune to at any priority function.
Everybody loves to sing this song.
And a lot of people usually know the words to this.
So anyway, it's a really good [G] choice.
Anyway, the first chord is G.
The second [C] is C.
And [D] the third is D.
[G] First chord again is
G.
[C] Second chord is C.
[D] Third chord is B.
This is a [G] nice easy strum.
And I tend to strum the pick the bass note of the chord.
In that case, the G would be the top string of the third fret.
So it would be C [F] would be the second [C] one down there in the third fret.
[F]
And then [Eb] D would be the fourth string from the [D] bottom there, which would be your D string.
[G] Back to G.
And that's the strum pattern too.
[C]
[G]
[D] And there you go.
So practice that a few times and then give her a go with me.
[G] Kenny Rogers, The Gambler.
Here we go.
On a warm summer's evening, [C] on a train [G] bound for nowhere, [C] I met [G] up with The Gambler.
We were both too [D] tired to sleep, [G] so we took turns staring [C] out the window, [G] out the [C] darkness.
The porter [G] longer took us.
[D] He [G] began to speak.
He said, son, I've made a life [C] out of reading [G] people's faces, [C] knowing [G] what the costs were,
by the way they [D] held the ride.
[G] So if you don't mind me saying, [C] I can see [G] your outer [C] faces for a [G] taste of your whiskey.
[D] I'll [G] give you some advice.
So I handed him my bottle, [C] and he drank [G] down while I swallowed.
[C] [G] Then he bought the cigarette and asked me for [D] a lighter.
[G] And the night got deathly quiet, [C] and his face [G] lost all expression.
If [C] you're gonna [G] play the game [D] boy, you gotta [G] learn to play it right.
You gotta know when to follow, [C] [G] know when to follow, [C] [G] know when to walk away, know [D] when to run.
You [G] have to count your money.
[C] When you're [G] sitting at the table, [C] every [G] time I've counted, [D] when the [G] feeling's done.
Now every gambler knows [C] that the secret [G] to survival [C] is knowing [G] what to throw [C] away,
knowing [D] what to keep.
[G] Because every hand's a winner, [C] and [G] every hand's a loser.
[C] [G] Bet you the hope for [D] it's a die in [G] your sleep.
You gotta know when to follow, [C] [G] know when to follow,
[C] [G] know when to walk away, know [D] when to run.
You [G] never count your money.
[C] When you're [G] sitting at the table, [C] every [G] time I've counted, [D] when the [G] feeling's done.
When he finished speaking, [C] he [G] turned back towards the window,
[C] [G] and pressed out a cigarette, and faded [D] off to sleep.
[G] Somewhere in the darkness, [C] the [G] gambler he broke even.
[C] And in [G] his final words, [D] I found a nation [G] that I could keep.
You gotta know when to follow, [C] [G] know when to follow, [C] know [G] when to walk away, [D] know when to run.
[G] You never count your money.
[C] When you're sitting [G] at the table, [C] every time [G] I've counted, [D] when [G] the feeling's done.
You gotta know when to follow, know when to follow, know when to walk away, know when to run.
You never count your money.
[C] When you're sitting [G] at the table, [C] every time [G] I've counted, [D] [G] when the feeling's done.
[C] [G] Every time I've counted, [C] when [G] the feeling's done.
[C] Every time [G] I've counted, [D] when [G] the [C] feeling's done.
[G] [G] [N] The Gambler, Kenny Rogers, oh that's a great tune to play.
It's just such a popular and fun tune to play in any situation.
Hope you guys enjoyed that one.
If you have any questions or comments, let me know.
I speed that song up a little bit as well, kinda get the knee slapping a bit.
So hopefully you guys will do that too, and hope it works for you.
Anyway, any questions or comments, be sure to check out my channel.
I've got lots of fun tunes over there.
Hope you guys go visit and have a look.
And like I say, as always, let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.
Always love to hear them.
