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;

There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.

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

America-Horse With No Name
[Intro - BPM 123 - No drums]
Em Em D6/9 (200200) D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
On the [Em] first part of the [D6/9] journey
I was [Em] looking at all the [D6/9] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
The [Em] first thing I met was a [D6/9] fly with a buzz
And the [Em] sky with no [D6/9] clouds
The [Em] heat was hot and the [D6/9] ground was dry
But the [Em] air was full of [D6/9] sound
[Chorus - Slap on snare drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2 - Slap on snare drums]
After [Em] two days in the [D6/9] desert sun
My [Em] skin began to turn [D6/9] red
After [Em] three days in the [D6/9] desert fun
I was [Em] looking at a river [D6/9] bed
And the [Em] story it told of a [D6/9] river that flowed
Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6/9] dead
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
La, [Em9] la, la lala [Dmaj9] la la la, la, la
La, l [Em9] a, la lala l [Dmaj9] a la la, la, la
[Verse 3 - Drums stop]
After [Em] nine days I let the [D6/9] horse run free
'Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6/9] sea
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
(bass drum in)
The [Em] ocean is a desert with its [D6/9] life underground
And a [Em] perfect disguise [D6/9] above
Under the [Em] cities lies a [D6/9] heart made of ground
But the [Em] humans will give no [D6/9] love
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain

Carrying me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland
I'm missing old mammie once again
And I think it's a sin, yes

A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

[Intro]
D A Bm G
D A Bm G
[Intro Riff]
Tap these harmonics based on D major chord - play snare with thumb - 4 bars
B--15----15----
G-----14----14---
Then
E - 14 then E - 14 15 17 section
Play harmonic with right hand as loud as you can - be very accurate
with where you position the first finger and really use edge of nail
on little finger - play the chords very gently in between harmonics
to help it chug along but be no louder than the harmonics - then the song
starts quietly
Chords are
D xx0235, A x02222, Bm x24432, Gmaj7 3x0002
D xx0235, A x02225, Bm7 x24235, Gadd9 3x0005
During louder parts tap harmonics on the backbeat - have to play
snare on part of soundboard above the frets
[Verse 1 - Chug - very quiet - even on snare - play barre chords]
(D at 5, A at 5, Bm at 7, G at 3)
[D] See the st [A] one set in your e [Bm] ye
See the th [G] orn twist in your s [D] ide
I w [A] ait for y [Bm] ou [G]
[D] Sleight of h [A] and and twist of [Bm] fate

[Chorus - Quiet]

Then
D Asus4 Bm G x 4
D xx0775 (mute A with lh 2nd finger)
Asus4 x0775x (move shape for D across to BGD strings)
Bm7 797777
G 10x00010
[Miscellaneous]
Start very quiet - have to play to loudness of harmonics
Start playing harmonics of D chord on B and G strings - tap
and play snare at same time when playing high D
Then play harmonic F# by touching string at 14th fret with
1st finger and plucking with 4th finger
then strum &2& bit with right hand and play snare with thumb
Chords are
xx0232 x02222 x24432 (3x0002 3x0003)
Make sure chords played very lightly and completely muted
when you go to play the next harmonic
Notes - when start, tap harmonics of D chord at 12th fret area
And use those taps (some of them) for the backbeat
Tap harmonics on louder sections of with or without you
and can be backbeat as well
Intro riff
Fret the high D and articulate high note/s
with up pluck with 2nd finger - put in drop D
and strum with other fingers and can do snare
Also this is constantly played over the chords
So chords really are
D Asus4 Bm7 Gadd9 (3x0233)
In fact with ebow part becomes
D F#m7/A (ish), Bm7 , Gadd9 (3x0233)
Can use thumb to play hihat figure as well snare by using differnt
emphasis
little finger strum then th(2) TH(3) th(4) th(1) th(2) TH(3) th(4)
In parts of song guitar riff implies A7sus4
Right hand little finger to strum each chord and use right hand thumb
to play snare and 8th notes figure on sound board to give momentum
Make sure high note is held and vibratoed for as long as possible
Ascending figure 13 to 15 happens on transition from G to D
12(G) 13(G) 15(D)
