Bm Bm7/A G G x 4
[End]
ignore this - for later reference
Bm (1 triplet) Bsus2 (1 triplet + 2 beats)
G (then think GMaj7) - 2 triplets then 2 beats - the 'and id'
comes in the last beat of 2 so on the &2 of 1 2 3 1&2
Play G1 G2 G3 G1+Snare (stop) then sing 'and id' with no guitar
Important that the strings drone lots - open strings also
works as well in places
[Interlude] -
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - G to Gmaj7 with figure
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2
1 2 3, 1+S stop 2 3 no chord sing 'and you' - G

Kenny Rogers-The Gambler
[Verse - No drums]
G C G
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
G G D
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to speak
G C G
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
C G D7 G
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
G C G
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
G D
Knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes,
G C G
And if you don't mind me sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
C G D G
And for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
(bass drum on 2 and 4 to begin with - no snare)
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow;
G G D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light,
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression,
C G D G
' said "If you're gon na play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus - Half time shuffle]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
C G D
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
G D G C G
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Verse]
A D A
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
A E
Is knownin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
A E A D A
'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
D A E A
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Verse]
A D A
And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
A E
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep, (drums stop)
A E 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.
[Chorus - Drums back in]
A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
A E A D A
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Chorus]
A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.

You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Chorus - A Cappella]

You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,

Know when to walk away And know when to run.
