Chords

Tab difficulty: Novice Tab creator: Intermediate The previous version was good.....but slightly inaccurate in terms of chord switching. The D# and G# were removed because you can make it sound almost as good, with less changes and creative strumming or note fillers. Play around with it a bit and you will see what I mean. I also tabbed out the entire song, for ease of learning. [Verse]
 D                         E7
Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand,

F#m           G     D
Just like Billy Sunday,

     G             A
In a shotgun ragtime band,

D                        E7
Just like New York City, just like Jerico,

F#m            G     D
Pace the halls and climb the walls

    G                 A
And get out when they blow.
[Chorus]
D                        G
Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?

E              G            D
Ramble on baby, settle down easy

A         D
Ramble on Rose.
[Verse]
D                         E7
Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the sailor

F#m           G      D
One heat up, and one cool down,

      G               A
Leave nothin' for the tailor.

D                         E7
Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer

F#m           G       D
One go up, and one go down,

    G        A
Do yourself a favor.
[Chorus]
D                        G

I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime,

Bm                  C                 G
I know this song it ain't never gonna end.

I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line,

Take you to the leader of a band.
[Verse]
D                         E7
Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack,

F#m           G     D
Sittin plush with a royal flush,

  G          A
Aces back to back.

D                          E7
Just like Mary Shelley, just like Frankenstein,

F#m               G    D
Clank your chains and count your change

    G               A
And try to walk the line.
[Chorus]
D                        G
Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?

Goodbye Mama and Papa

E7
Goodbye Jack and Jill

    F#m                       G          D
The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter

D      G           A
Either side of the hill.

D                        G
Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?
