F C G

G             Bm                    C                G
I never meant to leave her my intentions were to stay
G             Bm                   C                 D
It wasn't nothing she had done or nothing she could say
G             Bm                    C                    G
To change this old familiar feeling that makes chills run through my skin
G             Bm                    C                    D
Less she read my mind and saw the sings that point around the bend

G              Bm                    C                    G
My toothbrush never leaves my pocket there's no anchor on my feet
G              Bm                    C                   D
If my sleepin' bag gets dusty and there's not enough to eat
G               Bm                   C          G
I may stay an extra day till I find another town
G               Bm                    C                        D
You can bet there's not a lady that can show this freight train down


[Chorus]
            F       C       G       F     C       G
And I'll be moving in the morning leaving you behind
F     C            G              A7                  D
If anyone should ask you you can tell them they will find
G             Bm                      C                 G
Somebody walking down the highway with a guitar in his hand
G             Bm                      C                D
And I'll always be remembered as a free born rambling man

[ guitar ]

G             Bm                       C                 G
Lord tell the children when they find me that I died but not in vain
G             Bm                       C                 D
They can find reincarnation in the whistle of a train
G             Bm                       C                 G
And each time they hear the whistle blow through the stillness of the land
G              Bm                      C                  D
They'll know that I was happy as a free born rambling man
