[F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Old rambling Jack Elliot said, _ _ _ _ _ I got these lines in my face
trying to straighten out wrinkles in [E] my life.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] When I think of all the fools I've been,
it's a wonder that I've sailed this many [B] miles.
_ _ _ _ To which Larry Mahan replied, _ _ _ he said,
the sweet bird of you was sitting on my shoulder
[E] _
yesterday.
_ _ _ _ [F#] But she's always changing partners,
and I always knew she'd up and [B] fly away.
_ _ _ _ _ Well, it's [E] staying up all night in a Driscoll Hotel.
[B]
Rambling Jack and Mahan, cowboyed all to hell.
[F#m] [E] And the room smelled like bull.
The words sounded like [Bm] songs.
[F#] Now, they're the pair to draw to.
Boys, I would [B] not steer you wrong. _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ So rambling Jack said, _ _ _ _ he said, I recall a time
I set my soul on fire just [Em] for show.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [F#] And all it ever taught me was the more I learned,
the less I seem [B] to know. _
_ _ _ Old Mahan crawled out behind the couch.
Said, Jack, _ _ _ _ _ he said, as far as I can see,
mistakes are only horses [Em] in disguise. _ _ _
_ _ [F#] Ain't no need to ride them over,
because we could not ride them [C#m] different [B] if we tried.
_ [E] And it's staying up all night in a Driscoll Hotel.
[B]
Rambling Jack and Mahan, cowboyed all to hell.
[E] And the room smelled like bull.
The words sounded like songs.
[F#] Now, they're the pair to draw to.
Boys, I would not [B] steer you wrong.
[E] Staying up all night in a Driscoll Hotel.
[B] Rambling Jack and Mahan, cowboyed all to hell.
[E] And the room smelled like bull.
The words sounded like songs.
[F#] Now, they're the pair to draw to.
Boys, I would not steer [B] you wrong.
_ _ [E] _
_ Yes, sir.
We bought a damn monkey.
