Chords

[Verse 1]
   G                                   C
My hat don't hang on the same nail too long

   G                                     D
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song

    G                 G7            C
And I don't leave the highway long enough

                   G
To bog down in the mud

       G                 D            G
'Cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood
[Verse 2]
  G                                C
I caught this ramblin' fever long ago

     G                                D
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow

   G              G7          C
If someone said I ever gave a damn

                        G
They damn sure told you wrong

G                 D          G
I've had ramblin' fever all along
[Chorus]
G         C          G                                D
 Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees

G         C            G                D             G
 Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease
[Bridge]
        G                               C
There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa

    G                           C
And let some pretty lady rub my back

    C                  Am   C        G
And spend the early morning drinking coffee

    G                  D              G
And talking about when I'll be coming back
[Verse 3]
       G                           C
'Cause I don't let no woman tie me down

         G                         D
And I'll never get too old to get around

          G                              C
I want to die along the highway and rot away

                       G
Like some old high-line pole,

G                  D           G
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul
[Chorus]
G         C          G                                D
 Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees

G         C            G                D             G
 Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease
