Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on, 
Come on, give a listen 

                  E                 D 
Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside 
                A                         E 
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice 
               E                      D 
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home 
                A                      E 
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam 
            E                      D 
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy 
                A                     E 
Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out 
                    E                      D 
So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away 
              A                   E 
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay

              E                D 
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man) 
            A                E 
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man) 
              E                D 
Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man) 
             A                 E 
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man

           E                       D 
I'm out of money, cause you know I need some 
                  A                   E 
I ain't around to love you now, and I must run 
           E                   D 
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down 
                  A                    E 
You can have your funky world, see you 'round 

(Chorus)
