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