Jimmie Rodgers – My Rough And Rowdy Days (Guitar)

                               F                  C
For years and years I rambled, drink my wines and gambled

    F          C
But one day, I thought I'd settle down

                          F                C
I met a perfect lady, she said she'd be my baby

D7                                G7
We built a cottage in the ol' hometown

                               G                 C
But somehow I can't forget, my good old rambling days

    D7                               G7
The railroad trains are calling me always

  C                              F
I may be rough, I may be wild, I may be tough and counted vile

      C                 G                        C
But I can't give up, my good ol' rough and rowdy ways

                                F                    C
Sometimes I meet a bounder, who knew me when I was a rounder

   D7                                G7
He grabs my hand and says boy have a drink

   C                         F                        C
We go down to the poolroom,  get in the gang and then soon

    D7                               G
The daylight comes before I'll had a wink

  C                              F
I may be rough, I may be wild, I may be tough and counted vile

      C                 G7/D                     C
But I can't give up, my good ol' rough and rowdy way
