The previous version was good.....but slightly inaccurate in terms of chord switching.  

The D# and G# were removed because you can make it sound almost as good, with less 

changes and creative strumming or note fillers. Play around with it a bit and you 

will see what I mean. I also tabbed out the entire song, for ease of learning.



 D                         E7

Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand,

F#m           G     D

Just like Billy Sunday,

     G             A

In a shotgun ragtime band,

D                        E7

Just like New York City, just like Jerico,

F#m            G     D

Pace the halls and climb the walls

    G                 A

And get out when they blow.



D                        G

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?

E              G            D

Ramble on baby, settle down easy

A         D

Ramble on Rose.



D                         E7

Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the jailor

F#m           G      D

One heat up, and one cool down,

      G               A

Leave nothin' for the tailor.

D                         E7

Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer

F#m           G       D

One go up, and one go down,

    G        A

Do yourself a favor.



D                        G

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?

E              G            D

Ramble on Rose.

D                         E7

Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack,

F#m           G     D

Sittin plush with a royal flush,

  G          A

Aces back to back.

D                         E7

Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein,

F#m               G    D

Clank your chains and count your change

    G               A

And try to walk the line.





D                        G

Goodbye Mama and Papa

E7

Goodbye Jack and Jill

    F#m                       G          D

The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter

D      G           A

Either side of the hill.



D                        G

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?

E7             G            D
