[Eb] [Db] [Ab]
I was [Db] born a ramblin' [Ab]
man, tryin' to make a livin' and [Db] doin' the best [Eb] I can.
And [Db] when it's time for [Fm] leavin', I hope you'll [Db] understand, [Ab] that I [Eb] was born a [Ab] ramblin' man.
My father [Db] was a gambler down [Ab] in Georgia, and he wound up in a big, big, big, big, big, big,
lumber bum, [Db] wrong and all [Cm] gone.
[Db]
And I was [Ab] born in the back [Fm] seat of a grand [Ab] bus, rollin' [Cm] down Highway [Ab] 41.
Lord, I was born a ramblin' [Fm] man, tryin' to make a livin' [Db] and doin' the best [Cm] I can.
But [Db] when it's time [Ab] for leaving [Fm] I hope you'll [Db] understand
[Ab]
That I was born a [Ab] family [Eb] man
[Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Cm] Alright!

[Ab] [Fm] [Db] [Ab]
I'm on [Db] my way to New Orleans this [Fm] morning
But even [Db] out on Nashville, [Cm] Tennessee
They're always [Ab] having a good time [F] down on the by road
[Db] All them Delta [Cm] women think they will [Ab] love me
Lord, I was born a [Fm] family [Ab] man
Trying to make a [Db] living and doing the best [Eb] I can
[Db] But when it's [Ab] time for leaving [Fm] I hope you'll [Db] understand
[Ab] That I [Eb] was born a [Ab] family man
Lord, I [Gb] was born a family man
Lord, I [Db] was born a family man
