01-RAMBLIN' MAN – C1 Sol M
Allman Brothers Band
Lord, i was born a ramblin' man,
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can.
and when it's time for leavin',
i hope you'll understand,
that i was born a ramblin' man.
well my father was a gambler down in georgia,
he wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
and i was born in the back seat of a greyhound bus
rollin' down highway 41.
Lord, i was born a ramblin' man,
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can.
and when it's time for leavin',
i hope you'll understand,
that i was born a ramblin' man.
i'm on my way to new orleans this mornin',
leaving out of nashville, tennessee,
they're always having a good time down on the bayou,
lord, them delta women think the world of me.
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
And sometimes, in the darkened night,
You see the crossroad sign.
One way is the mornin' light,
You got to make up your mind.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waiting for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.
Hey, yeah.
[guitar break]
Runnin' wild out on the road,
Just like a leaf on the wind.
How in the world could you ever know,
We'd ever meet again?
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin to.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Somebody's callin' your name.
That's what it's all coming to

Well my mama died and left me,
