Kenny Rogers-The Gambler - BPM - 135

[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.

Sam Fender-Rein Me In - BPM - 135

[Intro]
| Badd11  | C#m7  | F#m7  | Aadd9  | 4x
 
[Verse 1]
Badd11    C#m7                F#m7     Aadd9
 I let go of everything I ever had
Badd11              C#m7                F#m7     Aadd9
 'Cause I couldn't give the love you deserved
Badd11   C#m7                         F#m7     Aadd9
 By The Gunner, you shouted, "Oh, my God"
Badd11       C#m7                       F#m7         Aadd9
 It seemed churlish, but it's what I was owed, I suppose
Badd11   C#m7                F#m7         Aadd9
 Every flagstone of this town bears our prints
Badd11        C#m7                   F#m7         Aadd9
 And all the bars round here serve my ghosts and carcasses
Badd11   C#m7                       F#m7     Aadd9
 I wish I knew these things when I was young
Badd11   C#m7                F#m7     Aadd9
 'Cause now I've just gone so numb
 
[Chorus]
Badd11    C#m7             Aadd9                 Badd11
      We take whatever we can to get the reason back
C#m7              Aadd9
 So please don't rein me in
Badd11        C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
 (Ooh) Don't rein me in
Badd11               C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
 (Ooh) Please don't rein me in
     Badd11                 C#m7
I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
        F#m7                      Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
       Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
              C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
Please don't rein me in
 
[Verse 2]
Badd11           C#m7           F#m7     Aadd9
 I wish I could tell you everything
Badd11    C#m7           F#m7     Aadd9
 But my stomach was too weak
Badd11     C#m7                 F#m7            Aadd9
 Sometimes it's easier to throw away your love
Badd11         C#m7          F#m7     Aadd9
 Instead of accepting its defeat
 
[Chorus]
Badd11        C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
 (Ooh) Don't rein me in
Badd11               C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
 (Ooh) Please don't rein me in
         Badd11                 C#m7
And I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
        F#m7                      Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
       Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
              C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
Please don't rein me in
 
[Bridge]
    Badd11
And I'm,
C#m7              F#m7                   Aadd9
 I'm stood here chewing everybody's lugs off (Ooh)
Badd11   C#m7                        F#m7            Aadd9
 (Ooh)    Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Badd11   C#m7                        F#m7            Aadd9
 (Ooh)    Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Badd11   C#m7                       F#m7                  Aadd9    Badd11    C#m7
 (Ooh)    Telling everybody but you, how much I fucked it up
      F#m7     Aadd9    Badd11
Slow down
C#m7        F#m7     Aadd9
 Slow down
 
[Instrumental]
| Badd11  | C#m7  | F#m7  | Aadd9  |
 
[Chorus]
         Badd11                 C#m7
And I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
        F#m7                      Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
       Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
              C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
Please don't rein me in
         Badd11                 C#m7
And I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
        F#m7                      Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
       Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
              C#m7   F#m7     Aadd9
Please don't rein me in
