The
Gambler
recorded
by Kenny Rogers
written
by Don Schlitz
C
F
C
On a
warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
G7
I met
up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep
C
F
C
So we
took turns a staring out the window at the darkness
F
C
G7
C
Till
boredom overtook us and he began to speak
F
C
He
said Son I've made a life out of reading people's faces
G7
And
knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
C
F
C
And if
you don't mind my saying I can see you're out of aces
F
C
G7
C
For a
taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice
F
C
So I
handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
G7
Then
he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
C
F
C
And
the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
F
C
G7
C
Said
if you're gonna play the game boy ya gotta learn to play it
right
F
C
You
got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
F
C
G7
know
when to walk away and know when to run
C
F
C
You
never count your money when you're sitting at the table
F
C
G7
C
There'll
be time enough for counting when the dealings done
F
C
Every
gambler knows that the secret to surviving
G7
Is
knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
C
F
C
Cause
every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
F
C
G7
C
And
the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
F
C
And
when he'd finished speaking he turned back towards the window
G7
Crushed
out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
C
F
C
And
somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
F
C
G7
C
But in
his final words I found an ace that I could keep
