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