Sounds of Silence Paul Simon 1964
Dm C Dm Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again F Bb F Bb F Because a vision softly creeping, left it's seed while I was sleeping Bb F Dm And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains, F C Dm Within the sounds of silence.
Dm C Dm In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobble stone F Bb F Bb F 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp Bb F Dm When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night F C Dm And touched the sounds of silence
Dm C Dm And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more F Bb F Bb F People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, Bb F Dm People writing songs that voices never shared, no one dared F C Dm Disturb the sounds of silence.
Dm C Dm "Fools!" said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows F Bb F Bb F Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you." Bb F Dm But my words like silent raindrops fell... F C Dm And echoed in the wells of silence
Dm C Dm And the people bowed and prayed to the neon gods they made F Bb F Bb F And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming, Bb F And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls Dm F C Dm And tenement halls." and whispered in the sounds of silence.

The Gambler Don Schlitz 1976 (as recorded by Kenny Rogers)
INTRO: / 1 2 / 1 2 / [C] / [F] / [C] / [F]
On a [C] warm summer's evenin’, on a [F] train bound for [C] nowhere I [C] met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to [G7] sleep
So [C] we took turns a-starin’, out the [F] window at the [C] darkness Till [F] boredom over-[C]took us [G] and he began to [C] speak
He said [C] “Son I've made a life, out of [F] readin’ peoples’ [C] faces
And [C] knowin’ what their cards were, by the way they held their [G7] eyes So if [C] you don't mind my sayin’, I can [F] see you're out of [C] aces
For a [F] taste of your [C] whiskey, I'll [G] give you some ad-[C]vice” [C]
So I [C] handed him my bottle, and he [F] drank down my last [C] swallow
[C] Then he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a [G7] light And the [C] night got deathly quiet, and his [F] face lost all ex-[C]pression
Said “if you're [F] gonna play the [C] game boy, ya gotta [G] learn to play it [C] right
CHORUS: You got to [C] know when to hold 'em [F] know when to [C] fold 'em
[F] Know when to [C] walk away, and know when to [G] run You never [C] count your money, when you're [F] sittin’ at the [C] table
There'll be [C] time e-[F]nough for [C] countin’ [G] when the dealin’s [C] done [C]
<KEY CHANGE> [D] / [D] /
[D] Every gambler knows, that the [G] secret to sur-[D]vivin’
Is [D] knowin’ what to throw away, and knowin’ what to [A7] keep ‘Cause [D] every hand's a winner, and [G] every hand's a [D] loser
And the [G] best that you can [D] hope for is to [A] die in your [D] sleep.”
And [D] when he'd finished speakin’, he [G] turned back toward the [D] window
[D] Crushed out his cigarette, and faded off to [A7] sleep And [D] somewhere in the darkness, the [G] gambler he broke [D] even
But [G] in his final [D] words I found an [A] ace that I could [D] keep
CHORUS 1 You got to [D] know when to hold 'em [G] know when to [D] fold 'em
[G] Know when to [D] walk away, and know when to [A] run You never [D] count your money, when you're [G] sittin’ at the [D] table
There'll be [D] time e-[G]nough for [D] countin’ [A] when the dealin’s [D]
