Verse 1:
On a [G] warm summer's evenin' on a [C] train bound for [G] nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to [D] sleep.
So [G] we took turns a starin' out the [C] window at the [G] darkness
'til [C] boredom over [G] took us, [D] and he began to [G] speak.
Verse 2:
He said, [G] "Son, I've made a life out of [C] readin' people's [G] faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their [D] eyes.
And if [G] you don't mind my sayin', I can [C] see you're out of [G] aces.
For a [C] taste of your [G] whiskey I'll [D] give you some [G] advice."
Verse 3:
So I [G] handed him my bottle and he [C] drank down my last [G] swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a [D] light.
And the [G] night got deathly quiet, and his [C] face lost all ex[G]pression.
Said, "If you're [C] gonna play the [G] game, boy, ya gotta [D] learn to play it [G] right.

Verse 4:
Ev'ry [G] gambler knows that the [C] secret to surv[G]ivin'

Verse 5:
And [G] when he'd finished speakin', he [C] turned back towards the [G] window,
...Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to [D] sleep.
And [G] somewhere in the darkness the [C] gambler, he broke [G] even.
But [C] in his final [G] words I found an [D] ace that I could [G] keep.

[Am] Who can keep you [F] satisfied
I better shape [C] up... if I’m [G] gonna prove
[Am] That my faith is [F] justified
Are you sure? Yes I’m sure down deep inside
