Вступление
[Verse]
GCG
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
GGD
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to speak
GCG
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
CGD7G
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
GCG
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
GD
Knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes,
GCG
And if you don't mind me sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
CGDG
And for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
GCG
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow;
GD
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light,
GCG
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression,
CGDG
' said "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus]
GCG
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
CGD
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
GDGCG
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
CGDG
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Verse]
ADA
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
E
Is knownin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
AEADA
'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
DAEA
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Chorus]
GCG
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
CGD
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
GDGCG
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
CGDG
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Verse]
ADA
And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
E
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep,
AEADA
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even,
DAEA
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus]
GCG
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
CGD
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
GDGCG
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
CGDG
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
