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