[Intro]
 
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
         D
Oh, well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down.
 
Where pretty girls are, well, you know that I'm around.
  G
I kiss 'em and I love 'em, 'cause to me they're all the same.
  D
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                 A                   G
They call me the wanderer, yeah, the wanderer,
        D                             A7
I roam around, around, around, around.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                 D
Oh, well there's Flo on my left arm and there's Mary on my right.
 
And Janie is the girl, well, that I'll be with tonight.
    G
And when she asks me which one I love the best
  D
I tear open my shirt and I show her Rosie on my chest.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             A                 G
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah, a wanderer,
        D
I roam around, around, around, around.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
        A
Well, I roam from town to town,
 
I go through life without a care.
 
And I'm as happy as a clown,
          B7  N.C.
A-with my two fists of iron but I'm going nowhere.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A7       D
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around.
 
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town.
    G
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl, yeah,
  D
I hop right into that car of mine, I drive around the world.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            A                 G
Yeah, I'm a wanderer, yeah, a wanderer,
        D                             A7
I roam around, around, around, around.

"Well, there is Bo on my left arm and there`s Mary on my right. And Jenny is the girl, well, that I`ll be with tonight. And when she asked me which one I love the best I tear over my shirt and show her Rosie on my chest." Should be: "Well, there is Flo on my left arm and there`s Mary on my right. And Janie is the girl, well, that I`ll be with tonight. And when she asks me which one I love the best I tear open my shirt and show her Rosie on my chest."

In the verses on the 2nd line, in the last D-measure of 4-counts, I suggest a D7 on the 3rd and 4th count. Like in the 1st verse on the word: 'a-round', where the D7 comes in on 'round' (count 3 and 4). That leads nicely to the next G-chord...!
