On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to speak
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And if you don't mind me sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow;
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
' said "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
ch]E[/ch
Is knownin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch

And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
ch]E[/ch
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
