Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
I've been [C]down the Mississippi
Down through New Orleans
Yes, I have
I've [F]played in California
There ain't too much I haven't seen
No, there ain´t
Well, I'm a [G]ramblin' man
Don't fool around with a ramblin' [C]man

[Verse 2]
Left a [C]girl in West Virginia
Up where that green grass grows
Yes, I did
Another [F]girl in Cincinnati
Waitin' where the Ohio River [C]flows
Poor girl!
I'm a [G]ramblin' man
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' [C]man

[Chorus 1]
You'd better [F]move away
You're standin' too close to the [C]flame
Once I [F]mess with your mind
Your little heart won't beat the [C]same
Lord, I'm a [G]ramblin' man

[Interlude 1]
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin'
[C](man) Better not!
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
Well, [C]up in Chicago
I was known as "Quiet Boy"
Yes, I was!
[F]Down in Alabama
They call me "The man of joy"
Still do!
Well, I'm a [G]ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' [C]man

[Chorus 2]
You'd better [F]move away
You're standin' too close to the [C]flame
Once I [F]mess with your mind
Your little heart won't beat the [C]same
Lord, I'm a [G]ramblin' man

[Outro 1]
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin'
[C](man)
[C][C]
[Repeat and fade]
