just repeat the chords over and over .

( refrain )
A D A
lord , i was born a ramblin’ man
( A )
trying to make a living
D E
and doing the best i can
D A
when it’s time for leaving ,
F#m D
i hope you’ll understand
A E A
that i was born a rambling man

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
rolling down highway forty – one

( refrain )

i’m on my way to new orleans this morning
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

( refrain )
