Though I can't show you
the years (D major) of my life
That I spend (C major) on the road
to freedom (G major)
Don't let it throw you,
I know (D major) of your strife
I know (C major) what it's like to roam (G major)
I sang 'em a glad song,
(D major) played 'em a sad song
Sang (C major) 'em the whole night long (G major) (C major)
(G major) Just for a dollar or (D major) what they
could offer
To some (C major) body's ramblin' boy (G major)

When the fun (C major) was done,
I would pack my bags and I was (G major) gone
Though the women were kind there was
(C major) nothing to bind me to one (G major)
'Til some (C major) body (B flat major) changed (G major)
my rough (C major) and (B flat major) rowdy ways (G major)
(C major) Somebody (B flat major) changed (G major) my
(C major) ole ca (B flat major) rousing days (G major)
Oh (C major) when I was a young (G major) boy
I learned (C major) (B flat major) to survive (G minor)

my tough (C major) and (B flat major) hungry days (G major)

Now (C major) I don't (B flat major) really care (G major) no more
'bout (C major) nickels (B flat major) and a dime (G major)
The (C major) one I love (B flat major) is (G major) all I need to (C major) help

(C major) Somebody (G major) came and (C major) rolled
away my stone (G major)
(C major) Some (B flat major) body (G minor) came,
(G major) and she (C major) made me (B flat major) feel at home (G major)
(C major) Some (B flat major) body (G major) changed my rough (C major)
