Chorus:

 G                    F                              G

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

 G                                                     C                               D

Trying to make a living and doing the best I can

 C                                 G                  Em                                C

When it's time for leaving, I hope you'll understand

 G                         D                              G

     That I was born a rambling man

        G                        C                                G

My father was a gambler down in Georgia

        G                               C                              D

He wound up on the wrong end of a gun

        C                                  G                           Em                   C

And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus

G                           D                          G

 Rolling down highway forty-one

Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee

They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord

Them delta women think the world of me

G                    F                           G

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Jam on this progression.     End on G
