Rambler Gambler (Bob Dylan)

Requested by Trenton

Chords used: G-C-D



Capo 2nd fret

I'm a [G]rambler I'm a gambler, I'm a [C]long way from my [D]home
If the [G]people don't [C]like me, [G]they can [C]leave me a[D]lone

Come [G]sit down beside me, come [C]sit down right [D]here
Come [G]sit down long you [C]want to, [G]love you [C]always to [D]hear

When you [G]get to Wyoming, a [C]letter you'll [D]see
If you [G]get into [C]trouble, [G]just you [C]write after [D]me

For I [G]once had a lover, Her [C]age was six[D]teen
She's a [G]flower of [C]Belton, [G]and a [C]rose of Ce[D]line

Her pa[G]rents was against me, now [C]she is the [D]same
If I've [G]writ on your [C]book, love, [G]just you [C]blot out my [D]name

Oh, there's [G]changes in the ocean, there's [C]changes in the [D]sea
There's[G]changes in my [C]true love, [G]ain't no [C]change in [D]me

Midnight Special (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

suggested by Trenton

Chords Used: G-D-A7



Source: Tab

(Initially, single, slow strums of each chord)

[D]Well, you wake up in the mornin'[G]
You hear the work bell ring [D]
And they march you to the table [A7]
You see the same old thing [D]
Ain't no food upon the table [G]
And no fork up in the pan [D]
But you'd better not complain, boy [A7]
You'll get in trouble with the man [D]

(now speed up tempo and strum continuously; all subsequent verses have
same pattern as chorus)

CHORUS:
Let the midnight [G]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [A7]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [G]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [A7]special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on [D]me

Verse 2:
Yonder come Miss [G]Rosie
How in the world did you [D]know
By the way she wears her [A7]apron
And the clothes she [D]wore
Umbrella on her [G]shoulder
Piece of paper in her [D]hand
She come to see the [A7]gov'nor
She wanna free her [D]man

[CHORUS]

Verse 3:
If you're ever in [G]Houston
Ooh, you'd better do [D]right
You'd better not [A7]gamble
And you'd better not [D]fight
Or the sheriff will [G]grab ya
And the boys'll bring you [D]down
The next thing you [A7]know, boy
Ooh, you're prison D]bound

[Chorus TWICE; 2nd time, at last line, decelerate, with break at "light
on me," to final strum of D]
