[A]
You were born in a southern fall It might have been Sunday but I can't recall
All the birthdays I must have missed [F#m] Your first [Em] steps and [D] your first [A] kiss
I don't even know if [D] you know [A] my name But you [F#m] should hear the truth [E] before it's
[D] too late [A] So I hope this finds you on some [E] highway
Cause [D] I'm an [A] old time rambler [D] I call the [A] road my home
[D] Forgive my [A] indiscretion [E] It's the only way I know
[D] A million [A] miles from Kentucky [F#m] But I [E] will [D] always be around
[Dm] So [A] turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
I [D] [A]
played for tips [D] and I [A] played for less I played a pretty southern [D] girl right [A] out
of her dress She danced [D] until the [A] lights came on
[F#m] There's a reason she's [E] here instead of being [D] at home
She [A] said the songs we sang made the whole room cry
And [F#m] that night I told [E] a young [D] man's lie When I said [A] I would call her
And I [E] said alright [D] Cause I'm an [A] old time rambler
[D] I call the [A] road my [D] home Forgive [A] my indiscretion
[E] It's the only way I know [A] [D] A million miles from [A] Kentucky
[F#m] But I will [E] always be [D] around [Dm] So [A] turn the radio up [D] when your heart [A] breaks down
Turn the radio up [D] when your [A] heart breaks down
I'm [E] [F#m]
sorry for the tears that [B] made you cry I'm sorry for the promises that [F#m] turned to lies
If I could turn back the [B] hands of time I'd take you back and try, try, [F#m] try
To make you understand [B] That this is who I [A] am
I [D] [A] met the devil in an old motel It seems I ain't got much of a soul to sell
My glass is empty, my hands are blue [F#m] And the doctor [Em] gave me about [D] a month or two
[A] Well I thought I would make it [D] to you [A] this year So [F#m] forgive me one [E] last time [D] my dear
And tell [A] your mother I won't be [E] coming home
Cause [D] I'm an [A] old time rambler [D] I call the [A] road my [D] home
Forgive my [A] indiscretion [E] It's the only way I know
[D] A million [A] miles from Kentucky [F#m] But I will [E] always be [D] around
[Dm] So [A] turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
Turn the radio up [D] when your [A] heart breaks down
[D] [A]
