On a warm summer’s evenin’
3 3 -5 6 -6 6 5
on a train bound for nowhere
4 -5 -6 6 5
I met up with the gambler
4 4 4 4 -3 4 -4
we were both too tired to sleep
4 4 4 3 4
So we took turns a starin’
4 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5
out the window at the darkness
4 -5 -5 6 -6 6 5
‘Til boredom overtook us
4 -4 -4 5 -4 4
and he began to speak

Chorus:

You got to know when to hold ’em

know when to fold ’em
4 -5 -6 6 6 5
Know when to walk away
4 -3 4 -4
know when to run

You never count your money

There’ll be time enough for countin’

Listen to the song to get a feel on the timing of the notes. Most

Ill add 2nd half after the chorus at a later date. Feel free to rate

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

By the way they held their eyes.

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,

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.

[V2]
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
’till her father’s cottage came into view.
Says she: «Come in, sir, and meet my father,
And play to please him The Foggy Dew.»

[V3]
She sat me down beside the fire
I could see her father, he was six feet tall.
And soon her mother had the kettle singing
All I could think of was the Galway shawl.

[V4]
I played «The Blackbird» and «The Stack of Barley»,
«Rodney’s Glory» and «The Foggy Dew»,
She sang each note like an Irish linnet.
While the tears flowed from her eyes so blue.

[V5]
‘Twas early, early, all in the morning,
When I hit the road for old Donegal.
She said «Goodbye, sir», she cried
And my heart remains with the Galway shawl.

Je-sus our broth-er kind and good

7 9 9 -10 -10-10 9 9 8
4 6 6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5
Was hum-bly born in a sta-ble rude

8 8 8 -8 -9 8 -8 7 8
5 5 5 -4 -5 5 -4 4 5
And the friend-ly beasts a-round him stood

9 9 -9 8 7 -8 -7 7
6 6 -5 5 4 -4 -3 4
Je-sus our broth-er kind and good

«I» said the donkey shaggy and brown
I carried his mother up hill and down
I carried him safely to Bethlehem town
«I» said the donkey shaggy and brown

And «I» said the cow all white and red
I gave him my manger for a bed
I gave him my hay for to pillow his head
«I» said the cow all white and red

«I» said the sheep with a curly horn
I have him my wool for his blanket warm
And he wore my coat on that Christmas morn
«I» said the sheep with a curly horn

«I» said the dove from the rafters high
Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry
We cooed him to sleep my love and I
«I» said the dove from the rafters high

And «I» said the camel all yellow and black
Over the desert upon my back
I brought him a gift in the wise men’s pack
«I» said the camel all yellow and black

Thus every beast remembering it well
In the stable dark was so proud to tell
Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel
The gifts that they gave Emmanuela
