Capo 2nd fret (sounding A major)


 G5    
It's a long and dusty road
      C5        /B5     A5
It's a hot and heavy load
       D5            /C5    /B5 /A5   G5    lick#1
And the folks I meet ain't always kind
         G5
Some are bad and some are good?n
          C5        /B5         A5      
Some have done the best they could
          D5             /C5      /B5 /A5  G5   lick#2
Some have tried to ease my trouble in mind

     C5               D5                G5                E5      C5
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
                D5                G5
can't help but wonder where I'm bound 


I've been wandering through this land
Just doin' the best I can
Trying to find what I was meant to do
And the people that I see
Look as worried as can be
And it looks like they are wand?rin? too

But I had me a buddy back home
And he started off to roam
Now he?s out, gone to Frisco Bay
And sometimes when I've had a few
His old voice comes ringin' through
And yes I'm goin' out to see him some old day

If you see me passin' by
And you sit and you wonder why
And you wish that you were a rambler, too
nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
Lace'em up and bar the door
Thank your stars for the roof that's over you
