The Gambler [G] - Kenny Rogers [Intro] [G] [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. [Chorus] You got to [G] know when to hold 'em, [C] know when to [G] fold 'em, [C] know when to [G] walk away and know when to [D] run. You never [G] count [Am] your [G] money when you're [C] sittin' at the [G] table. There'll be [C] time enough for [G] countin' [D] when the dealin's [G] done. [Verse 4] [G] Ev'ry gambler knows that the [C] secret to surv[G]ivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to [D] keep. 'Cause [G] ev'ry hand's a winner and [C] ev'ry hand's a [G] loser, and the [C] best that you can [G] hope for is to [D] die in your [G] sleep." [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. [Chorus] You got to [G] know when to hold 'em, [C] know when to [G] fold 'em, [C] know when to [G] walk away and know when to [D] run. You never [G] count [Am] your [G] money when you're [C] sittin' at the [G] table.
