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