RAMBLIN MAN
by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan (2006)

I[Am] can settle down, And be [Am]doing just fine
Till I [E]hear an old freight Going down the [Am]line
Then I [Am]hurry straight [Am]Home and pack
And if I [E]didn't go I believe I'd blow my [Am]stack
I [Am]love you, baby But you must [Am]understand
When the [E]Lord made me He made a ramblin' [Am]man
Some folks may say (Got my loving arms to keep you warm)
That [Am]I'm no good (In the kitchen cooking up a storm)
That I [E]wouldn't settle (If uncle tells me stay away from you)
Down if I [Am]could (That is something I could never do)
But when that [Am]open road (You're my baby, you're my loving man)
Starts [Am]calling me (When you're in trouble, do the best you can)
There's something [E]over the hill (I'm naked, daddy, just for you)
That I've gotta [Am]see (Force of nature and you're coming through)
Some[Am]times it's hard (Loving you, going hot and cold)
But you gotta [Am]understand (Loving you, getting good and soaked)
When the [E]Lord made me (How I know you hate to see me cry)
He made a ramblin' [Am]man (Happens every time I say goodbye)
[Am Dm A Dm] [Am Dm A Dm]
I [Am]love to see (What's the use, you poor, seductive man)
The towns [Am]passing by (Don't get feelings and you'll understand)
And to [E]ride these rails (Lying on somebody just like me)
'Neath God's blue [Am]skies (Got you dancing to my melody)
Let me [Am]travel this land (God knows how I need your loving arms)
From the [Am]mountains to the sea (If you lose me, baby, telephone)
'Cause [E]that's the life (Try to pieces, stay away from harm)
I believe He meant for [Am]me (You're my baby though you do me wrong)
And [Am]when I'm gone (Love your nature, though I walk the line)
And at my [Am]grave you stand (Loving dreams, you're just a waste of time)
Just [E]say God's called (Baby, please don't stay away too long)
Home his ramblin' [Am]man (Fire's burning for when you get home)
[Am A Dm A Dm]
