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