Capo 2
| Em | G | Em |
| Some people say I'm a | no count, others say I'm no | good |
| G | C | G | C |
But | I'm just a | natural born | travelling | man |
| D7 | Em |
| Doing what I think I | should, oh yeah |
| D7 | Em |
| Doing what I think I | should |
| G | C | G | C |
And I | don't give a | damn about a | greenback | dollar |
| G | C | G |
| Spend it | fast as I | can |
| C | G | C | G | C |
| For a | wailing | song, and a | good | guitar |
| D7 | Em |
Are the | only things that I under | stand, poor boy |
| D7 | Em |
The | only things that I under | stand |
| Em | G | Em |
| When I was a little | babe, my mama said hey | son |
| G | C | G | C |
| Travel where you | will, and | grow to be a | man |
| D7 | Em |
| And sing what must be | sung, poor boy |
| D7 | Em |
| Sing what must be | sung |
| Em | G | Em |
| Now that I'm a | grown man, I've travelled here and | there |
| G | C | G | C |
| I've learned that a | bottle of | brandy and a | song |
| D7 | Em |
| Are the only ones who ever | cared, poor boy |
| D7 | Em |
| The only ones who ever | cared |
| D7 | Em |
| That's all that I under | stand, poor boy |
| D7 | Em |
| That's that I under | stand |
