Verse 1:

G D

They're closing down the old pavilion

G Em Asus4 A

They're pouring concrete on the grass

G D D/C#

Well I don't mind the way it changes

Bm E Asus4 A

And I don't cry for times of past

G D

Cause I have done my share of changing

G Em Asus4 A

I did my best to satisfy

G D D/C#

And though I never really made it

Bm E Asus4 A

You can't claim I didn't try

Chorus:

D Dmaj7/C#

You said run and I ran

Am/C G

You said sing and I sang

Gm D/A

I've done what I can

But I'm leaving now

Em Asus4 D

I'm just the rambling kind

Verse 2:

G D

Now I see snow among the ruins

G Em Asus4 A

The cranes like birds against the sky

G D D/C#

Well I'm not back I won't be staying

Bm E Asus4 A

I was only passing by

G D

And I don't care much for nostalgia

G Em Asus4 A

And I won't miss you when I'm gone

G D D/C#

But I wanted so to thank you

Bm E Asus4 A

Don't think you know the good you've done

Chorus:

D Dmaj7/C#

You said run and I ran

You said sing and I sang

Gm D/A

You've done what you can

But I'm leaving now

I've got someone else to mind

Dmaj7/C#

And it's me

Am/C G

If you look you will see

Gm D/A

That I'm gone and I'm free

And I'm nowhere bound

Em Asus4 Bm

But still the rambling kind

Bridge:

Bm Bm/Bb

And when I got away

Bm/A

I celebrate that day

E Em

To finally be alone

Asus4

And when I reached the road

It felt like coming home

Chorus:

Dmaj7/C#

and I ran

Am/C G

You said sing and I sang

Gm D/A

I've done what I can

But I'm leaving now

Em Asus4 D

I've got someone else to mind

Dmaj7/C#

And it's me

Am/C G

If you look you will see

Gm D/A

That I'm gone and I'm free

I'm nowhere bound

Em Asus4 G F Eb

But still the rambling kind

Em Asus4 D

Still the rambling kind
