Rambling, Gambling Willie easy guitar chords by
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan

N/A
Verse 1
D

Come around you rovin' gamblers
G
D

and a story I will tell

About the greatest gambler
G
D

you all should know and well

His name was Will O' Connolly
G
D

and he gambled all his life
G

He had twenty -seven children
D

yet he's never had a wife

And it's right, Willie, right, roll, roll
G
D

Well, if you're a gamblin' now,

nobody really knows

He gambled in the White House
G
D

and in the railroad yards

Wherever there was people,

there was Willie and his cards

He had the reputation

as the gamblinest man around
G

Wives would keep their husbands

home
A

when Willie came to town
D

And it's ride, Willie, ride, roll, Willie, roll
G
D

Well, you're a gamblin' now,
A
D

nobody really knows

Sailin' down to Mississippi,

to a town called New Orleans

They're still talkin' about that card game
G
D

on that Jackson River, Queen
G
D

I've come to win some money,
G
D

gamblin' Willie says
G

When the game finally ended up,
D
A
Em

the whole damn boat was his
D

And it's ride Willie, ride, roll

Willie, roll
G
D

Well, he's over gamblin' now,
A
D

nobody really knows

Up in the Rocky Mountains,

in a town called Crippled Creek

There was an all -night poker game,

lasted about a week

Nine hundred miners
G
D

had laid their money down
G

When Willie fi nally left the room,
A

he owned the whole damn town
D

And it's ride, Willie, ride, roll, Willie, roll
G
D

Well, you're a gamblin' now,

nobody really knows

But Willie had a heart of gold,

and this I know is true

He supported all his children

and all their mothers, too

He wore no rings or fancy things

like other gamblers wore
G

He spread his money far and wide
A

to help the sick and the poor
D

And it's right, Willie, right,

for old Willie O 'Rourke

Well, you're a gamblin' now,

nobody really knows

When you played your cards with Willie,

you never really knew

Whether he was bluffin'

or whether he was true

He won a fortune

from a man who folded in his chair

The man, left a diamond flush,
A

Willie didn't even have a pad
D

Man, that's right, Willie, right,

roll, Willie, roll
G
D

Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,

nobody really knows

It was late one evening,

during a poker game

A man lost all his money,

said Willie was to blame

He shot poor Willie through the head,


which was a tragic fate

And Willie's cards fell on the floor,
A

they were aces backed with eights
D

And it's ride Willie, ride, roll

Willie, roll

Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,

nobody really knows

So all you rovin' gamblers,

wherever you might be
C#
D

The moral of the story is very plain to see
C#

Make your money while you can,

before you have to stop
D
C#
D

For when you pull that dead man's hand,

A

your gamblin' days are up
D
C#
D

And it's ride, Willie, ride,

roll, Willie, roll
C#

Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,

nobody really knows.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
