_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [C] _ _ _ For years and years I rambled, _ [F] _ drank my wines [C] and gambled, [F] but one day [C] I thought I'd settle down.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I met a perfect lady, _ [F] she said she'd [C] be my baby.
_ [D] We built a cottage in the old [G]
hometown, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fieldly, old Lee [C]-lee.
_ _ _ _ _ _ But somehow I can't forget [G]
my good old [C] rambling days. _ _
_ _ _ [D] The railroad trains are calling me [G] always. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] I may be rough, I may be [F] wild, I may be tough and counted vile,
[C] but I can't give up [G] my good old [Bm] rough and [C] rowdy ways.
Dee-lee [G]-ee, ah-ee [C]-lee. _ _
_ _ _ _ Sometimes I meet a bounder [F] who knew me [C] when I was a rounder.
[D] He grabs my hand and says, boy, [G] have a drink.
_ [A] _
[G] _ _ _ [C] We go down to the pool room, _ [F] get in the [F#] gang and [C] then soon
_ [D] the daylight comes before I've had [G] a wink. _ _
_ _ [A] Dee [G]-oo-lee-ee, oh-oo-lee [F]-ee, [C] oh-oo-lee-ee, ah-ee-lee.
_ _ _ _ _ But somehow I can't forget [G] my good old rambling [C] days.
_ [D] The railroad trains are calling me [G]
always.
_ _ _ _ [C] I may be rough, I may be wild, [F] I may be tough and counted [D] vile,
but [C] I can't give up [G] my good old rough and [C] rowdy ways.
_ _ _ _ Dee-oo-lee-ee, oh-oo-lee-ee, [F] oh-oo-lee _ _ _ -ee, [C] _ _
_ ah-ee-lee. _ _ _ _
