[E]
Some people say [G] I'm a no count
[C] Others say [G] I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born traveling man
[D] Doing what I think [E] I should, oh yeah
[D] Doing what I think [E] I should
[G] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
[C] Spend it fast [G] as I can
[C]
Or a wailing song [G] and a good [C]
guitar
Oh boy, [D] the only things that I [Em] understand
Oh boy, [D] the only things that [G] I [Em] understand
When I was a [G] little baby
[C] My mama said, hey [G] son
[C] Travel where you will [G] and grow to be a man
[D] And sing what must be [Em] sung, oh boy
[Gm] [Dm] Sing what must be [E] sung
[Em] And I don't [C] give a [G] damn about a greenback dollar
[C] Spend it fast as [G] I can

[G] Or a wailing song and a good [C] guitar
[D] The only things that [Em] I understand, oh boy
[B] The only things that I [Em] understand
Now [E] that I'm [G] a grown man
I've traveled here and there
[C] I've learned that a bottle [G] of brandy and a song
[D] The only ones who ever [Em] care, oh boy
[Dm] The [D] only ones who ever [E] care
[G] And I don't give a damn about a [C] greenback [G] dollar
[C] Spend it fast as [G] I can
[C]
[G] Or a wailing [C] song [G] and a good [C] guitar
[D] The only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy
[D] The only things that I [Em] understand
Some people say I'm a no [G]-count
