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