Kenny Rogers-The Gambler - sr - 200

[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.
          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 Cappella]
             A                      D            A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
 D            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.

Fleetwood Mac-Landslide

 LANDSLIDE – Feetwood Mac [Intro - Original Capo 3]   | C G/B | Am7 G/B | 2x
C          G/B                Am7  G/B
 I took my love and I took it down
C            G/B                    Am7   G/B
 I climbed a mountain and I turned around
      C        G/B             Am7          G/B
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
         C         G/B        Am7
Till the landslide brought me down
 
Oh, mirror in the sky what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my li-i-i-i-i-i-i-ife
 
[Pre-Chorus]  | C G/B | Am7 D/F#  Mmm... 

      G          D7/F#    Em
Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I
C        G/B         Am     D7/F#
Built my life around you
    G              D7/F#        Em
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
    C           G/B   Am7      G/B
And I'm getting older too
 
[Solo]   | C G/B | Am7 G/B |  x3        | C G/B | Am7   D/F# D7/F# |
 [Chorus]

Ah, ah, take my love, take it down
Ah, ah, climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down?
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills...
 
[Outro]
         C         G/B       Am7
Will the landslide bring you down?
 G/B        C         G/B        Am7
Oh, oh, the landslide bring you down?
