{Intro 1.2.3.4.} [G]///[G]///

Well we're [G]big rock singers, we've got golden fingers And we're loved everywhere we [D] go, We sing about beauty and we sing about truth At [D7]ten thousand dollars a [G]show; We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills, But the thrill we've never [C] known, Is the [D] thrill that'll get you when you get your picture On the cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

{Chorus} [NC] Rolling [D] Stone (Wanna see my picture on the cover) [G] Stone (Wanna buy five copies for my mother) [D] Stone (Wanna see my smilin' face) On the [C] cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

[G] I've got a freaky old lady called my Cocaine Katy Who embroiders on my [D] jeans , I've got my poor old grey-haired Daddy, [D7] drivin' my limou[G]sine Now it's all designed to blow our minds But our minds won't really be [C] blown, Like the [D] blow that'll get you, when you get your picture On the cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

{Chorus}

We got a [G]lot of blue-rinse, blue-eyed groupies Who do anything we [D] say, We got a genuine Indian guru, who's [D7]teachin' us a better [G] way, We got all the friends that money can buy, So we never have to be a[C]lone, And we [D] keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture On the cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

{Chorus} x 2 [G]!

The [D7] used in this song is the “Hawaiian” form. Sounds better.

The Gambler

The Gambler (Kenny Rogers) {Intro 1.2.3.4} [C]///[C]///[C]///[C]//

On a [C]warm summer's evening on a [F]train bound for [C]nowhere I met up with a gambler we were both too tired to [G7]sleep So [C]we took turns a staring out the [F]window at the [C]darkness Till [F]boredom overtook [C]us [G7]and he began to [C]speak

He said Son I've made a life out of [F]reading people's [C]faces And knowing what their cards were by the way they held their [G7]eyes So if [C]you don't mind my saying I can [F]see you're out of [C]aces For a [F]taste of your [C]whisky I'll [G7]give you some [C]advice

So I handed him my bottle and he [F]drank down my last [C]swallow 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 If you're [F]going to play the [C]game boy you got to [G7]learn to play it [C]right

{Chorus in C} You got to know when to hold 'em [F]know when to [C]fold 'em [F]know when to [C]walk away and know when to [G7]run You never [C]count your money when you're [F]sitting at the [C]table There'll be time [F]enough for [C]counting [G7]when the dealings [C]!done

{Key change} [D]Every gambler knows that the [G]secret to sur[D]viving Is knowing what to throw away and knowing 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 [A7]die in your [D]sleep

And when he'd finished speaking he [G]turned back towards the [D]window 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 [A7]!ace that I could [D]!keep

{Chorus in D} You got to know when to hold 'em [G]know when to [D]fold 'em [G]know when to [D]walk away and know when to [A7]run You never [D]count your money when you're [G]sitting at the [D]table There'll be time [G]enough for [D]counting [A7]when the dealings [D]!done
