The Gambler
Kenny Rogers
Key : Eb
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
D# G# D# G#    D#
       On a warm summer's eve

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     G#                 D#
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
                               A#7
We were both too tired to sleep
   D#
So we took turns astarin'
        G#                D#
Out the window at the darkness
    G#              D#
The boredom overtook us,
A#7                    D#
  And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
       G#                 D#
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
                           A#7
By the way they held their eyes
      D#
So if you don't mind me sayin'
I can see you're out of aces
      G#                D#
For a taste of your whiskey
     A#7                  D#
I'll give you some advice"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
     D#
So I handed him my bottle
       G#                 D#
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
                        A#7
And asked me for a light
        D#
And the night got deathly quiet
        G#                   D#
And his faced lost all expression
                G#                   D#
Said "If you're gonna play the game, boy
          A#7                   D#
You gotta learn to play it right

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
           D#
You've got know when to hold 'em
G#                D#
 Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
                 A#7
And know when to run
          D#    G#   D#
You never count your money
            G#                D#
When you're sittin' at the table
            G#                  D#
There'll be time enough for countin'
A#7                 D#
  When the dealin's done

[Verse 3]
---------------------
E
  Every gambler knows
         A             E
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
                        B7
And knowin' what to keep
       E
'Cause every hand's a winner
    A               E
And every hand's a loser
        A                E                B7
And the best that you can hope for is to die   in your sleep
E
And when he finished speakin'
   A                        E
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
                  B7
Faded off to sleep
    E
And somewhere in the darkness
    A               E
The gambler he broke even
    A                E
But in his final words
           B7
I found an ace that I could keep

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
           E
You've got know when to hold 'em
A                 E
  Know when to fold  'em
A                 E
  Know when to walk  away
                 B7
And know when to run
          E    A   E
You never count your money
            A                E
When you're sittin' at the table
            E         A        E  B7                  E
There'll be time enough  for countin'   When the dealin's done

[Outro]
---------------------
           E
You've got know when to hold 'em
A                 E
  Know when to fold  'em
A                 E
  Know when to walk  away
                 B7
And know when to run
          E    A   E
You never count your money
            A                E
When you're sittin' at the table
            E         A        E  B7                  E
There'll be time enough  for countin'   When the dealin's done
           E
You've got know when to hold 'em
A                 E
  Know when to fold  'em
A                 E
  Know when to walk  away
                 B7
And know when to run
          E    A   E
You never count your money
            A                E
When you're sittin' at the table
            E         A        E  B7                      E
There'll be time enough  for countin'   When the dealin's done
