  RAMBLING WALTZ (Christine Lavin)

  --------------------------------

  [Actually in Bb; capo 3.]

  [Each chord is one 3/4 measure.]

  [* after an Am means it has a hammer-on from 0 to 1 on the B string.]

  [* after a D means it has a hammer-on from 0 to 2 on the E string.]

  

  

  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C

  [intro]

  

   G             G              Am        Am*

  Alone on the stage, you're a cowboy in lights

  D             D*       C               G

  Charming the audience, night after night

       G                G             Am              Am*

  They clap their hands for you, they all wish you well

          D           D*           C         D    D*   Dsus4   D

  They go home to families, you go home to hotels

  

  Well there's cranky bartenders, old chambermaids

  Young waitresses who might like to get laid

  Some treat you with contempt, and some with respect

  Their faces stay with you, their names you forget

  

  Am          G         Am             G

    You're a rambler, a singer of songs

        Am           G              C             D   D*   Dsus4   D

  Women don't understand, and don't wait for you long

          G          G       Am         Am*

  Now you gotta keep moving, travelling on

      D              D*           C             G   C   G   C

  The road's calling you, and you wish you were gone

  

  Well, some call you a rambler, some call you a rogue

  Some think you're a gambler, some think you're a joke

  If I knew you better, I might not agree

  But all I know of you is what I can see

  

  With guitar in your hand and the light in your eyes

  You come on so strong, you appear to be wise

  When it's all over, you've nothing to so

  But sit in some barroom and down quite a few

  

  You're a rambler, a singer of songs

  Women don't understand, and don't stay with you for very long

  Now you gotta keep moving, travelling on

  The road's calling you, and you wish you were gone

  

  Oh you're tired of the East Coast, you long for the West

  Where the sun always shines, and the beer tastes the best

  But you need what you're getting up there on the stage

  And you like making more than a journeyman's wage

  

  So you're trapped in the music that you do so well

  You're trapped in the comforts of fancy hotels

  It's nothing you've said, I just think I can tell

  If you had your way, you'd be gone

  

  You're a rambler, a singer of songs

  Women don't understand, and don't love you for long

  Now you gotta keep moving, travelling on

  The road's calling you, and you wish you were gone

  

          G          G       Am         Am*

  Now you gotta keep moving, travelling on

      D [stop]       C [stop]        G   C   G   C   G   C   G.

  The road's calling you, now you're gone

  

  

  

  TAB:

  

  The intro uses this picking pattern, and the rest of the song is

  similar, but I can't exactly figure it out.
