Key: Ab major
Verse 1
D
G
and the ground is my floor
D
G
And the rain washes my hair for me
The snow keeps me cool,
the sun keeps me warm
C
D
G
And my pipe helps me to think straight
I've been to Mexico,
and I've been to Louisville
D
G
I've been up to San Francisco,
and my friends are the ones
that ride on boxcar trains
D
G
you might hear my name mentioned
I don't believe in nothing
nothing believes in me
D
G
I drift as free as the wind
I just drift along and I sing
and play my songs
C
D
and I never go back to where
It's been so long since I've seen my home,
D
G
I wonder if my mama's still alive.
Papa never did approve of the life I led,
C
D
so I left home when I was
My Gibson is my friend,
it helps me to survive,
D
G
it helps me to earn a free meal.
And I'll sing you a song,
for one thing dad,
C
D
G
it'll help me to buy a bottle of wine for my mom. Hey,
D
G
D
you young lady with your skin so fair,
C
D
G
let me run my fingers through your hair
D
G
I'll lay by your side and I'll treat you right
D
C
D
G
as long as I have somewhere to sleep tonight
I got holes in my boots, got dirt in my jeans
And my hair might need
D
G
a little trim
Some people don't approve,
D
G
they just don't understand
C
D
But I'm just tryin' to be like I am
G
C
D
And I bet you I'm happier than this
G
C
D
Yes, I'll bet you I'm happier than,
G
C
D
G
I'll bet you I'm happier than,
C
D
G
I'll bet you I'm happier than.
