VERSE 1 
 
E5           A5   B5                 E5  
Maybe I was born to be a rambling man 
E5           A5               B5 
Maybe I was born to lose at love 
E5        A5   B5          E5   
To walk alone and never find 
E5            A5              B5  
The one that I was dreaming of 
 

A5                       E5               B5        E5 
The rope that pulls the wind is tangled round my heart 
A5        E5            B5 
Seems my emotions are falling apart 
A5          E5         B5                  C#5 
Anyway the wind blows that's where I'll be 
A5                       E5            B5       E5 
The rope that pulls the wind's got a hold on me  
 
VERSE 2 
E5           A5   B5                E5 
Maybe a was born to be a rolling stone 
E5         A5             B5 
Seems I'm always movin' on 
E5         A5   B5             E5  
Before sunrise I'll pack my swag 
E5  A5                   B5 
By first light I'll be gone 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
VERSE 3 
E5              A5     B5               E5   
When I feel my sorrow catchin' up to me 
E5              A5                 B5  
When those old memories track me down 
E5             A5   B5                  E5 
It won't take long and I'll hear the call 
E5              A5              B5 
Of the highway leading out of town 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
