Chorus
 4   4   -3   4   4    4   4   4
You got to know when to hold 'em
 -5   6   -6   6   5
Know when to fold 'em
  6    6   5  6    6 5
Know when to walk aw-ay
  4   -3  4   -4
Know when to run
 4   4  -3   4    4    4   4
You nev-er count your mon-ey
  3   3    -4  -4   5  -5  5  4
When your sit-tin' at the ta-ble

  4   4   -4  -4    4
When the dea-lin's done.
