Kris Kristofferson - Ramblin' Jack (2012) chords
Start Jamming...
I got a friend named Ramblin' Jack He's got a face like a tumble-down jack
Been livin' too long to be [G] torn down High on life and low on luck
Big on drivin' diesel trucks And knows the boys that built him by [C] the sound
Most his lifetime he's been wastin' On the wine of life he's tasted
And I guess the rest, Lord, [F] he was stoned [G] And he's known to lay his weary head
In some funky unfamiliar bed But he was only lookin' for [C] a home
And [F] I know he ain't afraid of where [C] he's goin' And [G] I'm sure he ain't ashamed of where [C] he's been
He [F] has paid a little piece of his soul For [C] every seed that he's been sowin'
[D] And he's made his own mistakes And his [G] lovin' friend
Ain't that what matters [C] in the end?
[D]
[A]
[D] Soulful songs of sailin' ships Put a smile upon his lips
Easy as a laughter [A] in his eyes And if he knew how good he'd done
Every song he ever sung I believe he'd truly [D] be surprised
Lookin' back he's come so far Lookin' at his lucky star
Somewhere out there rockin' [G] on the road [A] Riskin' eyes and wasted days
Wild and righteous wicked ways Mixin' up the music [D] in his soul
And [G] I know he ain't afraid of where [D] he's goin' And [A] I'm sure he ain't ashamed of where [D] he's been
He [G] has paid a little piece of his soul For [D] every seed that he's been sowin'
And [E] he's made his own mistakes And his [A] lovin' friend
Ain't that what matters in [D] the end?
[A]
[D] I got a friend named Ramblin' Jack
