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 
     

[Refrão]
        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

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 


[Refrão]
        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
