     E (022100@1)                        A (x02220@1)             EOn (022100@1)a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
  A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)               BI (x2444x@1)met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
   E (022100@1)                             A (x02220@1)           ESo (022100@1)we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
     A (x02220@1)         E (022100@1)      B (x2444x@1)             E'til (022100@1)boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

         
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
 and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
 For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

CHORUS:

                 A (x02220@1)        E (022100@1)      B (x2444x@1)               EThere'll (022100@1)be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
 But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
