D5                              G5                  D5 
For years and years I rambled drank my wine and   gambled 
G5              D5              A5      D5 
But one day I thought I would settle down 
D5                        G5                    D5 
I had met a perfect lady she said she'd be my baby 
E5                                             A5   A5 
Now we built a cottage  down in the old home town 
D5         
Somehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways 
E5                                  A5    
The railroad trains are calling me away 
  D5              D5 
I may be rough I may be wild 
 G5                
I may be tough but that's just my way style 
  D5                E5                   A5    D5                     
I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways
