Intro: C 

verse 1 

C 
I got a friend named Ramblin' Jack. 
C 
He's got a face like a tumbled down shack 
                                          G 
That's been lived in too long to be torn down.  
      G 
He's high on life and low on luck  
     G 
and big on driving diesel trucks 
                                           C 
And knows the boys that built them by the sound 

verse 2 

 C 
Most of his lifetime he's been wasted 
C 
On the wine of life he's tasted 
                                     F 
And I guess the rest, Lord, he was stoned 
          G 
And he's known to lay his weary head 
         G 
In some funky, unfamiliar beds 
                               C 
But he was only looking for a home 
     
F C And I know he ain't afraid of where he's going G C And I'm sure he ain't ashamed of where he's been F He has paid a little piece of his soul C For every seed that he's been sowing D G And he's made his own mistakes, and love, and friends N.C. C Ain't that what matters in the end
INTERLUDE D A D verse 3 D Soulful songs and sailing ships D Put a smile upon his lips A Easy as the laughter in his eyes A And if he knew how good he'd done A every song he ever sung D I believe he'd truly be surprised verse 4 D Looking back he's come so far D Looking at his lucky star G Somewhere, out there, rocking on the road A Risky nights and wasted days A Wild and righteous, wicked ways D Mixing up the music in his soul
G D And I know he ain't afraid of where he's going A D And I'm sure he ain't ashamed of where he's been G He has paid a little piece of his soul D For every seed that he's been sowing E A And he's made his own mistakes, and love, and friends N.C. D Ain't that what matters in the end
OUTRO D A D D Dsus2 D I got a friend named Ramblin' Jack
