Ramblin' Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Cm]I can [C]settle down
And be do[Cm]ing just fine
'Til I [G]hear [D]an old[G] freight
Going [D]down the [Cm]line

[Verse 2]
Then I [Cm]hurry straight
Home and pack
And if I [G]didn't go
Believe I'd blow my [Cm]stack

[Verse 3]
I [Cm]love you, baby
But you must understand
When the [G]Lord [D]mad[G]e me
He made a ram[D]blin' [Cm]man[C]
[Cm]Some

[Verse 4]
folks might say (got my loving
arms to keep you warm)
That I'm no good (in the kitchen
cooking up a storm)
That I [G]wouldn't settle (if uncle
tells me stay away from you)
Down if I could (that is something
I could [Cm]never do)

[Verse 5]
But when that [Cm]open road (you're my baby,
you're my loving man)
Starts calling me (when you're in trouble,
do the best you can)
There's something [G]over the hill (I'm naked,
daddy, just for you)
That I've gotta see (force of nature and
you're [Cm]coming [C]thr[Cm]ough)

[Verse 6]
Sometimes it's [Cm]hard (loving you, going hot
and cold)
But you gotta understand (loving you,
getting good and soaked)
When [G]the Lord made me (how I know you
hate to see me cry)
He made a ramblin' man (happens every time [Cm]I say[G][Gm][Bb]
[Gm]
[G][Cm][C][Cm]
[G]
[Cm][G][Cm][C][Cm]
[G]
[Cm]goodbye)

[Verse 7]
[Cm]I love to see (what's the use,
you poor, seductive man)
The towns passing by (don't get feelings
and you'll understand)
And to [G]ride these rails (lying on somebody
just like me)
'Neath God's blue skies (got you
[Cm]dancing to my melody)

[Verse 8]
Let me travel this land (God knows
how I need your loving arms)
From the mountains to the sea (if you lose me,
baby, telephone)
[G]'Cause that's the life (try to pieces,
stay away from harm)
I believe He meant for me (you're my baby
though you [Cm]do me [C]wro[Cm]ng)

[Verse 9]
[Cm]And when [C]I'm [Cm]gone (love your
nature, though I walk the line)
And at my grave you stand (loving dreams,
you're just a waste [G]of [Cm]time)
Just [G]say "God's called (baby, please
don't stay away too long)
Home his ramblin' man" (fire's burning
[Cm]for when you get home)
[G][Cm]
