The Gambler Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On a warm summer's eve,
upon a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler,
we were both too tired [A]to sleep
So [D]he sent out a talk,
out the [G]window at [D]the darkness
To board him [G]over [D]to the sand,
[A]he began to [D]speak
He said, son, I've made a lot out
[G]of reading people's [D]faces,
knowing what the cards were,
[A]by the way[D] they held their eye[A]s.
And [D]if you don't find the same,
I can [G]see you're out of [D]aces.
For a [G]taste of your whis[D]key,
I'll [A]give you some ad[D]vice.
You've got nowhere to hold it,
[G]nowhere to [D]fold it,
[G]Nowhere [D]to walk away,
nowhere to [A]run
You've never [D]caught [A]your [D]money
When you're [G]sitting at the [D]table
There'll be time enough [G]for counting
[D]When [A]the dealing's [D]done
[Eb]Every gambler knows
That the [Ab]secret to surviv[Eb]ing
Is knowing what to throw away
And knowin' just what [Bb]to keep
Cause [Eb]every hand's a winner
And [Ab]every hand's [Eb]a loser
The [Ab]best that you can [Eb]hope for
Is to [Bb]die in your [Eb]sleep
You gotta nowhere to fall in
[Ab]Nowhere [Eb]to fall in
[Ab]Nowhere to [Eb]walk away
Nowhere to [Bb]run
You never [Eb]got your money
When [Ab]you're sittin' at the [Eb]table

[Verse 2]
There'll be [Eb]time [Ab]enough for [Eb]countin'

[Verse 3]
[Bb]When the dealin's [Eb]done
You gotta know where [Ab]to hold it
Know where to fold [Eb]it
[Ab]Know where to wa[Eb]lk away

[Verse 4]
Know where to run
[E]You never [Eb]count [Ab]your money

[Verse 5]
When you're [Ab]sittin' at [Eb]the table

[Verse 6]
There'll be [Eb]time [Ab]enough for [Eb]countin'

[Verse 7]
[Eb]When the [D]dealin's done
You've got [E]nowhere to hold it
[A]Nowhere [E]to fold it
[A]Nowhere to [E]walk away
Nowhere to [B]run
You've been [E]around too much
When [A]you're sitting at the [E]table
There'll be time [A]enough for [E]kindness
[B]When the demons [E]come[A][B]
[Bsus4][B][E][E]
Thank
Thank you.
