[Verse]
GOh, naCive little Gme
Asking what thCings you have seGen
You're vulnerCable in your hGead
And you'll scream and you'll wCait till you're dGead
Creatures veCiled by niGght
Following thCings that aren't rGight
And they're tired and they nCeed to be lGed
Or you'll scream and you'll wCait till you're dGead
[Chorus]
But give me Fto a rCambling mGan
Let it always be knDown that I Cwas who I Gam
[Verse]
Beaten, baCttered and cGold
My children will lCive just to grow oGld
But if I sCit here and weeGp
I'll be blown over by the slCightest of brGeeze
And the weak nCeed to be lGed
And the tender I'll caCrry to their bGed
And it's a pale and Ccold affGair
I'll be damned if CI'll be found thGere
[Chorus]
But give me Fto a rCambling mGan
Let it always be knDown that I Cwas who I Gam
[Verse]
It's fEmunny how the first chords you cGome to
Are the mEminor notes that come to serenGade you
And it's Emhard to accept yourself as soGmeoneEm  
You don't desGire as sEmomeone you don't want to Gbe
[Verse]
Oh, give me Fto a rCambling mGan
Let it always be knDown that I Cwas who I Gam
Oh, give me Fto a rCambling mGan
Let it always be knDown that I Cwas who I Gam

[Verse]

G C G

Oh, naive little me

C G

Asking what things you have seen

C G

You're vulnerable in your head

C G

And you'll scream and you'll wait till you're dead

C G

Creatures veiled by night

C G

Following things that aren't right

C G

And they're tired and they need to be led

C G

Or you'll scream and you'll wait till you're dead

[Chorus]

F C G

But give me to a rambling man

D C G

Let it always be known that I was who I am

[Verse]

C G

Beaten, battered and cold

C G

My children will live just to grow old

C G

But if I sit here and weep

C G

I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze

C G

And the weak need to be led

C G

And the tender I'll carry to their bed

C G

And it's a pale and cold affair

C G

I'll be damned if I'll be found there

[Chorus]

F C G

But give me to a rambling man

D C G

Let it always be known that I was who I am

[Verse]

Em G

It's funny how the first chords you come to

Em G

Are the minor notes that come to serenade you

Em G Em

And it's hard to accept yourself as someone

G Em G

You don't desire as someone you don't want to be

[Verse]

F C G

Oh, give me to a rambling man

D C G

Let it always be known that I was who I am

F C G

Oh, give me to a rambling man

D C G

Let it always be known that I was who I am
