         D      Bm               G      D
Thinking lonely thoughts about tomorrow
             Bm     A   A7
Like my emptiness today
          G             D          Bm         
And how I know that the blues will haunt me
       G      A         A7      D        D G D
'Til I die or rambling' sets me straight

         G                         D
I do not doubt that you are really trying
                      Bm           A    A7
It's just that I must break things down
         G     D            Bm
I cannot see myself in your shoes
            G      A        A7    D
I've got to go and bring it back around

           G                       D
I'm here today and then I'm gone tomorrow
           Bm      A     A7
I'm like a packrat in disguise
          G          D               Bm
I leave a song and I take your wine, truth
             G      A      A7        D
To spend the night alone beneath the sky


G D Bm A A7 G D Bm G A D G D

         G                         D
I'm now alone and I know I need to ramble
                          Bm     A    A7
'Cause it's the call from deep inside
         G         D        Bm   
Away out there I'm sure I'm honest
             G         A           A7    D    D G D
For it's the strongest friend that I can find

         D      Bm               G      D
Thinking lonely thoughts about tomorrow
             Bm     A   A7
Like my emptiness today
          G             D          Bm         
And how I know that the blues will haunt me
       G      A         
'Til I die or rambling' . . . .
