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

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