[Intro 1]
[G][F#][C#m][F#][C#m][F#][G][F#][B][F#][B]
[A#][F#]
Some [B]people

[Verse 1]
[G#m][B]
[C#]say [C#m]I'm a [Fdim]no 'coun[F#]t.[A][G#m][G][F#]
Others say I'm no [G]good.
But I'm just a [F#]nat'ral- born travelin' man,
[E]doin' [G]what I thi[F#]nk I should, O, yeah.
Doin' [B]what I think I should.
[F#]And I don't give a damn about [G]a gr[F#]eenback do[C]ll[B]ar,
[F#]spen[B]d it as fast as I can.
[C]For a [B]wailin' song and a good guitar, the [F#]only [B]things [F#]that[E] I u[B]nderstand,[G#m]
[B]poor boy, the only things that I understand.
When I was [C#m]a litt[A]le baby,
[F#]my momma said, "
[A]Hey, [B]son[G#m].[G][F#]
[G]Travel [F#]where you will and [C#m]grow to
[F#]be a[A] man[G][F#][C]
[B]And [F#]sing what must [C]be sung,
poor boy.
[B]Sing what must [C]be sung."

[Verse 2]
[B]And I don't give a damn about a [F#]green[C#m]back dollar,
[B]spend [F#]it as fa[E]st[B] as I can.[Abm]
[B]For [C#]a wailin' song and a good gu[F#]itar, th[A]e on[G#m]ly thi[G]ngs that I under[F#]stand,
poor boy, the only [Gdim]things [F#]that I und[G]erstand.
[F#]Now that I[C#m]'m a g[F#]rown[Gdim] man,[F#]
[G]I've traveled her[F#]e and the[C]re.
[B]I've learned that a bottle of [F#]brandy
[G]and[F#] a so[C]ng[Cdim],[B][C][B]
The only [F#]ones [B]who[F#] ever[E] c[F#]are,[D#m][G#m]
[B]poor boy, the [C#]only ones who ever care.
And I [C#m]don't [F#]give [A]a d[G#]amn a[G]bout a[G#m] green[F#]back dolla[D]r,
[G#m]spend [A]it [B]as [C#]fast[C] as [B]I can.[F#][B][F#][C#m]
[F#]For [G#m]a wailin' [C#m]song a[E#dim]nd a good [F#]guit[A]ar,[G#][G][F#][C#m][F#][Gdim][F#]
the [C#m]only things[F#] that I understand, poor boy, the only things tha[C#m]t I unders[F#]tand.
[G]Som[F#]e people [C]say[B]
I'm a no 'count.
[F#]Others [B]say[C] I'[B]m
[F#]no good.[B][F#][E][B]
But [G#m]I'm ju[B]st [C#]a nat'ral- born trave[F#]lin'[A] man,[G#][G]
[F#]doin' [C#m]what I[C] th[C#m]ink I [B]should, O, yeah.[F#]
Doin' what I think I should.
And I [C]don't give [B]a d[C]amn a[B]bout a greenback[F#] dollar,
[B]spend [F#]it as fa[E]st[B] as I ca[D#m]n.[G#m]
For a [B]wailin' [C#m]song a[A]nd a[C#m] good [F#]guit[B]ar,[E][A][C#m]
the only things that I understand, poor boy, the only things that I understand.
