View Guitar Chords for The gambler - chords ver. 6
On a Dwarm summer's evenin' on a trGain bound for Dnowhere, DI met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to A7sleep. So Dwe took turns a starin' out the Gwindow at the dDarkness 'til boredom overtook us, A7and he began to Dspeak.He said, D"Son, I've made a life ouGt of readin' peopDle's faces, and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their A7eyes. And if Dyou don't mind my sayin', I can Gsee you're out of Daces. For a Gtaste of your Dwhiskey I'll A7give you some Dadvice."So I Dhanded him my bottle and he Gdrank down my last Dswallow. Then he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a A7light. And the Dnight got deathly quiet, and his Gface lost all exprDession. Said, "If yoGu're gonna play Dthe game, boy, ya gA7otta learn to plaDy it right.Chorus:You got to Dknow when to hold 'em,G know when to Dfold 'em, Gknow when to Dwalk away and know when to A7run. You never Dcount Gyour Dmoney when you're Gsittin' at the Dtable. There'll be tGime enough for Dcountin' A7when the dealin's Ddone.Verse 4: (Key change)EEv'ry gambler knows that the Asecret to survEivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to B7keep. 'Cause Eev'ry hand's a winner and Aev'ry hand's a Eloser, and the Abest that you can Ehope for is to B7die in your Esleep."Verse 5:And Ewhen he'd finished speakin', he Aturned back towards the Ewindow, crushed out his cigarette and faded off to B7sleep. And Esomewhere in the darkness the Agambler, he broke Eeven. But Ain his final Ewords I found an B7ace that I could Ekeep.Chorus:You got to Eknow when to hold 'em, Aknow when to fEold 'em, Aknow when to Ewalk away and know when to B7run. You never Ecount Ayour Emoney when you're Asittin' at the Etable. There'll be tAime enough for Ecountin' B7when the dealin's Edone.
