[Verse 1] E I'm the type of guy who never settles down Where pretty girls are, you'll know that I'm around A I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same E I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name B A They call me the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer E B I roam round and round and round and round [Verse 2] There's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right And Janie is the girl that'll be with tonight And when she asks me which one I love the best I tear open my shirt and show Rosie on my chest 'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer I roam round and round and round and round [Bridge] B A-E (bass guitar plays 'B') Well, I roam from town to town B A-A Live life without a care B I'm as happy as a clown C# F# B With my 2 fists of iron but I'm goin' nowhere [Verse 3] I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around I'm never in one place; I roam from town to town And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world 'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer I roam round and round and round and round
