Verse 1
A
About 20 years ago,
D
A
on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with The Gambler
E
We were both too tired to sleep
A
So we took turns a starin'
D
A
through the window at the darkness
D
A
Til' boredom overtook us
E
A
and he commenced to speak
Verse 2
A
D
He said: Son, I've made a life out of readin'
And knowin' what their cards were,
E
by the way they held their eyes
A
And if you don't mind my sayin',
D
A
I would say you're out of aces
D
A
"And for one taste of your whiskey,
E
A
I will give you some advice
Verse 3
A
So I handed him my bottle,
D
A
and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette;
E
then he bummed a light
A
A
D
The night got deathly quiet and his face
A
lost all expression
D
A
He said: If you're gonna play the game, boy,
E
A
you better learn to play it right
Verse 4
A
D
'Cos ev'ry gambler knows that the secret
Is knowin' what to throw away
E
and knowin' what to keep
A
And ev'ry hand's a winner,
D
A
just like ev'ry hand's a loser
D
A
E
And the best that you can hope for is to die
Chorus 1
A
You got to know when to hold 'em;
D
A
know when to fold 'em
D
A
Know when to walk away;
E
know when to run
A
You don't ever count your money
D
A
while you're sittin' at the table
D
A
There'll be time enough for countin'
E
A
when the dealin' is done
Chorus 2
A
You got to know when to hold 'em;
D
A
know when to fold 'em
D
A
Know when to walk away;
E
know when to run
A
You don't ever count your money
D
A
while you're sittin' at the table
D
A
There'll be time enough for countin'
E
A
when the dealin' is done
A
A
Verse 5
A
And when he finished speakin',
D
A
he turned back t'ward the window
E
Put out his cigarette; faded off to sleep
A
And somewhere in the darkness,
D
A
the gambler he broke even
D
A
E
But in his final words I found an ace
A
that I could keep
Chorus 3
A
You got to know when to hold 'em;
D
A
know when to fold 'em
D
A
Know when to walk away;
E
know when to run
A
You don't ever count your money
D
A
while you're sittin' at the table
D
A
There'll be time enough for countin'
E
A
when the dealin' is done
Chorus 4
You got to know when to hold 'em;
know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away;
know when to run
You don't ever count your money
while you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
when the dealin' is done
Chorus 5
A
You got to know when to hold 'em;
D
A
know when to fold 'em
D
A
Know when to walk away;
E
know when to run
A
You don't ever count your money
D
A
while you're sittin' at the table
D
A
There'll be time enough for countin'
E
A
when the dealin' is done
