Song: | Listen to the song to get a feel on the timing of the notes. Most lines have a rest preceding the first note. Ill add 2nd half after the chorus at a later date. Feel free to rate it. This is my first tab. Send me a message if you have any inquires. 3 3 4 4 4 4 3 On a warm sum-mer's even-in', 4 4 -5 6 -5 6 5 On a train bound for no-where 4 5 6 -6 -6 6 5 I met up with the gam-bler. 4 4 4 5 -4 4 -4 We were both too tired to sleep. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 So we took turns a-star-in' 3 3 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5 Out the win-dow at the dark-ness. 4 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5 When bore-dom o-ver took us, 3 -4 -4 5 -4 4 And He be-gan to speak. 3 3 4 4 4 4 3 He said, Son, I've made my life 4 4 -5 6 -5 6 5 Out of readin' peo-ple's fac-es. 4 5 6 -6 -6 6 5 And know-in' what their cards were 4 4 4 5 -4 4 -4 By the way they held their eyes. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 And if you don't mind my say-in', 3 3 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5 I can see you're out of ac-es, 4 -5 6 -6 6 5 For a taste of your whis-key, 3 -4 -4 5 -4 4 I'll give you some ad-vice. 3 4 4 4 4 4 3 So I hand-ed him my bott-le, 4 4 -5 6 -5 6 5 And he drank down my last swal-low. 4 5 6 -6 -6 6 5 Then he bummed a cig-a-rette 4 4 5 -4 4 -4 And asked me for a light. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 And the night got death-ly qui-et, 3 3 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5 And his face lost all ex-pres-sion. 4 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5 Said, If You're gon-na play the game, boy, 4 4 4 -4 -4 5 -4 4 You got-ta learn to play it right. Chorus: 5 -4 4 4 You've got to know 4 4 4 3 When to hold 'em, -5 6 -6 6 5 Know when to fold 'em -5 6 -6 6 5 4 Know when to walk a-way, 3 4 -3 4 -4 and know when to run. 5 -4 4 4 -4 4 3 You ne-ver count your mon-ey 4 4 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5 When you're sit-tin' at the ta-ble. 4 5 6 6 -6 6 6 5 There'll be time e-nough for count-in' -4 -4 5 -3 4 When the deal-in's done. |
