 G9           Cadd9           G9    
I left my home in a hail of blows 
       Em7      Cadd9          G9   
And I went as far as I could go 
          Cadd9                 G9       
In my ears Daddy's words still ring 
                 Em7   Cadd9             G9 
If you walk out now, don't come back again 


 G9           Cadd9             G9     
One day Mamma and the younger ones 
         Em7     Cadd9            G9    
Might forgive me for what I've done 
                    Cadd9             G9   
Another year goes by, another season turns 
                Em7      Cadd9       G9 
And still this feeling, inside me burns 


            D                   Cadd9 
And I keep moving from town to town 
                       G9 
'Cause these rambling shoes 
 Cadd9               G9 
Don't like slowing down 
        D                        Cadd9 
I got nobody, I got no place to be 
            G9      D         G9 
I might be lonesome but I'm free 


 G9                Cadd9        G9 
I see storm clouds across the plains 
                 Em7 Cadd9              G9  
With the window down I can smell the rain 
                      Cadd9           G9 
And those wheat fields waving in the sun 
              Em7         Cadd9               G9 
Sing me back home where there's work to be done 


            D                   Cadd9 
And I keep moving from town to town 
                       G9 
'Cause these rambling shoes 
 Cadd9               G9 
Don't like slowing down 
        D                        Cadd9 
I got nobody, I got no place to be 
            G9      D         G9  
I might be lonesome but I'm free 


 Em7                        Bm 
One door closes next door opens 
                          Am 
At least that's what they say 
            Bm               Cadd9           D 
And I keep hoping I'm gonna find that door someday 


            D                   Cadd9 
And I keep moving from town to town 
                       G9 
'Cause these rambling shoes 
 Cadd9               G9 
Don't like slowing down 
       D                        Cadd9 
I got nobody, I got no place to be 
            G9      D         G9   Cadd9 
I might be lonesome but I'm free 

            G9      D         G9 
I might be lonesome but I'm free
