Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On [G]a w[D]arm[G][D]
summer's evening,
on a [G]train bound [D]for nowhere,
I met up with a gambler.
We were both too tired to [A]sleep,
so we [D]took turns a -staring.
Out the [G]window at the dark[D]ness,
till [G]boredom [D]overtook us,
and [A]he began to speak[D].
He said, son, I've made a life out
of [G]reading people's faces
[D]And knowing what the cards were
by the way they held their [A]eyes
So if [D]you don't mind my saying,
I can see you're [G]out [D]of aces
For a taste of your whiskey,
I'll [A]give you some ad[D]vice
So I handed him my bottle
and he [G]drank down my last [D]swallow
Then he bombed a cigarette
and asked me for a [A]light
And the [D]night got deathly quiet
And his [G]face lost all expres[D]sion
Said if you're [G]gonna play the [D]game, boy
You gotta [A]learn to play it [D]right
You got to know when to hold up
[G]Know when [D]to fold up
[G]Know [D]when to walk away
And know when [A]to run
You never [D]count your money
When you're [G]sittin' at the table
[D]There'll be time eno[G]ugh for cou[D]ntin'
[A]When the dealin's [D]done
[Eb]Every gambler knows
That the [Ab]secret to surviv[Eb]in'
Is knowin' what to throw away
Knowin' what to [Bb]keep
Cause [Eb]every hand's a winner,
and [Ab]every hand's a [Eb]loser
And the [Ab]best that you can [Eb]hope for
is [Bb]to die in your sleep
[Eb]And when he finished speaking,
he [Ab]turned back toward the win[Eb]dow
Crushed out a cigarette,
faded off [Bb]to sleep
And some[Eb]where in the darkness,
the [Ab]gambler he broke [Eb]even
But [Ab]in his final word[Eb]s
I [Bb]found an ace that I could [Eb]keep
You got no when to hold up,
[Ab]no when to[Eb] fold up
[Ab]No when to[Eb] walk away
and no when [Bb]to run
You never [Eb]count [Ab]your [Eb]money
When you're [Ab]sittin' at the table
[Eb]There'll be time enoug[Ab]h to count[Eb]
[Bb]When the dealin's [Eb]done,
you got no when to hold up
[Ab]No when to[Eb] fold up,
[Ab]no when to w[Eb]alk away
No [D]when to run[Bb],
you never [Eb]count [Ab]your money
[Eb]When you're sitt[Ab]in' at the t[Eb]able,
there'll be time enough for countin'
[Bb]When the dealin's [Eb]done,
you got no when to hold up
[Ab]Know when [Eb]to fold them,
[Ab]know when [Eb]to walk away,
know when [Bb]to run
You never [Eb]count [Ab]your money
[Eb]when you're sitt[Ab]in' at the table
[Eb]There'll be time enoug[Ab]h coun[Eb]tin'
[Bb]when the deal is [Eb]done
