Hey, good to see you, buddy.
How are you?

You got Tim [E] up there?
I [F] got a singing welcome [E] for you.
[Am] [Fm] [E]
There, I've seen that.
Ramblin' Jack, [A] ramblin' Jack,
[B] sure am glad [E] that you could ramble back.
[B] [E] Well, my boots are dusty [Bb] and my head's a mess.
[Eb] I just flew in [E] from the West.
Well, I was talking about [A] you and somebody [B] said,
I believe Ramblin' Jack's dead.
[Em] Well, that somebody [A] must have been crazy as [B] hell
because you'd be the first guy I'd [E] tell.
[B] Hey, strap [E] yourself in the gear of Gee Bubba
and [B] sing a [E] song with me.
Take [A] me home.
[B] My heart is heavy [E] and my feet are sore.
Take [Am] me home.

Well, I've been from Boston to L.A.
[B] I've seen Boulder Dam [E] and Crystal Bay,
New York City and Washington.
[B] I've seen Montreal, [E] Saskatchewan, and Rhode Island.

[A] Take me home.
[B] I don't want to [E] go no more.
Well, I slept all night in a water [B] trough.
Had the flu and the coop and the [E] whooping cough.
I had the mumps and the measles, seven-year [B]-age,
and I can't count the times [E] that I had a cold
and a sore throat.
Not to mention every time that I cut my [B] finger
on a [E] sardine can.
Why don't you [A] take me home?
[B] My heart is [E] heavy and my feet are sore.
Take [A] me home.
[B] I don't want to [E] roam no more.

Well, I can see them all now just a-gatherin' round.
[B] Mom, what's up the table when the [E] sun goes down?
Old Pappy, when the blessing said,
[B] fillin' up his plate with black [E]-eyed peas
and all that stuff.
That's right, I'm in.
And the great big helpin' of my dear sweet mama's
hot-buttered cornbread.
