[Verse 1]
E
I've been over Sonora, I've slept upon Sequoia
B
I've camped by the Redwoods as well
I've sunbathed in Bishop, been burned to a crisp
E
And many more things I can tell
B
My backpack has oft been my pillow
E
The granite has oft been my bed
B
And sooner than part from the mountains
E
I think I would rather be dead
[Chorus]
E B
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from down by the bay
E
I get all my pleasure the hard-working way
B
I may be a wage slave on Monday
E
But I am a free soul on Sunday
[Verse 2]
E
The day was just ending and I was descending
B
Down San Jacinto by Palm Springs
When a voice cried "Hey you" in the way guards do
E
He'd the worst face that ever I saw
B
The things that he said were unpleasant
E
In the teeth of his fury I said
B
"Sooner than part from the mountains
E
I think I would rather be dead"
[Chorus]
E B
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from down by the bay
E
I get all my pleasure the hard-working way
B
I may be a wage slave on Monday
E
But I am a free soul on Sunday
[Verse 3]
E
He called me dirty and said "private property"
B
Well i thought, but I still couldn't see
Why all Martin's beach and the coast roundabout
E
Couldn't take both the billionare and me
B
He said "All this land is my master's"
E
At that I stood shaking my head
B
No man has the right to own mountains
E
Any more than the deep ocean bed
[Chorus]
E B
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from down by the bay
E
I get all my pleasure the hard-working way
B
I may be a wage slave on Monday
E
But I am a free soul on Sunday
[Verse 3]
D
I once loved a maid, a spot welder by trade
A
She was bright as the poppy in bloom
And the bloom of her eye watched the blue scrubland sky
D
I wooed her from April to June
A
On the day that we should have been married
D
I went for a ramble instead
A
For sooner than part from the mountains
D
I think I would rather be dead
[Chorus]
E B
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from down by the bay
E
I get all my pleasure the hard-working way
B
I may be a wage slave on Monday
E
But I am a free soul on Sunday
[Verse 4]
D
So I'll walk where I will over mountain and hill
A
And I'll lie where the pine duff is deep
I belong to the mountains, the clear running fountains
D
Where the grey rocks lie ragged and steep
A
I've seen the white-tailed deer in the valleys
D
And the condor fly high overhead
A
And sooner than part from the mountains
D
I think I would rather be dead
[Chorus]
E B
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from down by the bay
E
I get all my pleasure the hard-working way
B
I may be a wage slave on Monday
E
But I am a free soul on Sunday
