[Verse 1]
Am G C
When I was a boy, I had to know what
F E
I would find just over the hill
Am F Am
And while still a lad, I had to go,
Dm E Am
and so you see I'm rambling still
(Play the Riff 1)
[Verse 2]
Am G C
life's golden cup, was filled for me
F E
with happiness and measures untold,
Am F Am
but i left the one who cared for me.
Dm E Am
a treasure's worth so much more than gold.

[Verse 3]
Am G C
young men that roam, take heed today,
F E
the call of the road can be so unkind,
Am F Am
it will lead you on like a fickle kiss
Dm E Am
and a wasted life is all that you'll find.
