[Chorus]
G           F       C      G
Lord I was born a ramblin' man
G                            C             D
Tryin' to make a living and doing the best I can
C                     G       Em           C
When it's time for leaving I hope you'll understand
G           D              G
That I was born a ramblin' man
 
[Verse]
G                F               G
My father was a gambler down in Georgia
G                    C            D
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
C                         G               Em       C
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
G               D           G
Rolling down highway forty-one
 
[Chorus]
G           F       C      G
Lord I was born a ramblin' man
G                            C             D
Tryin' to make a living and doing the best I can
C                     G       Em           C
When it's time for leaving I hope you'll understand
G           D              G
That I was born a ramblin' man

I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning
G                 C            D
Leavin' out of Nashville, Tennessee
C                        G                     Em      C
They're always havin' a good time down on the Bayou, Lord
G                  D                G
Them delta women think the world of me
 
[Chorus]
G           F       C      G
Lord I was born a ramblin' man
G                            C             D
Tryin' to make a living and doing the best I can
C                     G       Em           C
When it's time for leaving I hope you'll understand
G           D              G

Great job with just two little errors... On both verses you show an F for the second chord it should be a C. And I'm pretty sure Les Dudek doesn't use a capo, I know Dickey doesn't. But if you capo for the singers purposes, it's all good.

I don't know lads, I kinda like the F chord. And forget the capo, much easier to sing in G which is what Dickey does when live I believe. Same with Blue Sky. Thank you for this however and God Bless!
