[Fm] [Gm] [Fm] [Eb] On [F] a warm summer's evening, on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns of staring out the window at the [F]
darkness
He [Bb] said, son I made my life, I'd [Gm] read on people's [Bb] faces
And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held [F] their eyes
[G] For a [Bb] taste of your whiskey
advice, so I handed him my bottle
I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns of staring out the window at the [F]

He [Bb] said, son I made my life, I'd [Gm] read on people's [Bb] faces
And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held [F] their eyes

I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns of staring out the window at the [F]
darkness
[Gm] The boredom [F] overtook us, and he began to speak
He [Bb] said, son I made my life, I'd [Gm] read on people's [Bb] faces
And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held [F] their eyes
So [Bb] if you don't mind what I say, I [Gm] can see you're on [Bb] a basis
[G] For a [Bb] taste of your whiskey
[F] I gave you some [Bb]
advice, so I handed him my bottle
And [Eb] he drank down my [Bb] last swallow
Then he burned a cigarette and asked me for [F] a light
And [Bb] the night got deadly quiet, [Eb] and his face lost all [Bb] expression
Said, [Eb] if you're gonna play [Bb] the game, boy, you're [F] gonna learn to play [Bb] it right
You gotta know when to hold, _ [Eb]
know when [Bb] to fold
_ [Eb] Know when [Bb] to walk away, know when [F] to run
You [Bb] never count your money, [Eb] when you're sitting at [Bb] the table
There'll be time enough for counting, [F]
when the deal [Bb] is done _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Every gambler knows, [E] that the secret to [B]
surviving
Is knowing what to throw away, and knowing what [Gb] to keep
[B] Cause every hand's a winner, [E] and every [B] hand's a loser
[E] And the best [B] you can hope [Gb] for, is to die [B] in your sleep
And when you finish speaking, [E] you turn back [B] toward the window
Crushed out a cigarette and faded off [Gb] to sleep
[B] And somewhere in the darkness, [E] the gambler [B] he broke even
[E] And in his [B] final words I [Gb] found, and they said [B] I could keep
You gotta know when to hold, [E] know [B] when to fold
[E] Know [B] when to walk away, know [Gb] when to run
You [B] never count your money, [E] when you're sitting [B] at the table
There'll be time enough for counting, [Gb] when the [B] deal is done
You gotta know when to hold, know when to fold
