CHORUS:
 D         G               D
Lord I was born a ramblin' man,

 Bm                        G                A
tryin' to make a livin and doin' the best I can.

    G                   D
And when it's time for leavin',

  G        F#m   Em
I hope you understand,

 D         A               D
That I was born a ramblin' man.


1st VERSE:
 D              G               D
My father was a gambler down in Georgia,

   Bm              G              A
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.

    G                 D
And I was born in the backseat of a,

 G   F#m  Em
Greyhound bus,

 D           A        D
rollin' down highway 41.

I'm allways havin' a good time down on the bayou lord,

Those Delta women think the world of me.

These next two parts are done by two separate guitars, I will tab them 
separately, then together, it's tricky, but you CAN play BOTH parts
at the same time.
