If There's Still Ramblin' in the Rambler (Let Him Go)

Written By: Jeff Austin
Appears on: Elevation, Mountain Tracks Vol. 3 

Intro:  G  (strummed like hell, and typically accompanied by uncontrollable screaming)

Chorus:

G                      D                       G
If they’re still ramblin’ in the rambler let ‘em go
           G                                                D
You’ll never tame him darlin’ and you know
        G                             G7
He’ll break your heart in two
       C
And after that he still ain’t through
G                      D                       G
If they’re still ramblin’ in the rambler let ‘em go


G                 D                     G
Up to dawn drinkin’ every night
G                                            D
Or bailin’ him out in the morning after another barroom fight
G                       G7       C            
Cook for him a supper he will never see
G                                     D                         G
Briefcase totin’ boy you know he’ll never be

Chorus

G                            
Wonderin' if the car is wrecked, if he's dead or not
G                                                  D
He'll meet you at the ballet after just one more Jaegermeister shot

(Drink Jaeger!)

G                                G7                      C
That five hundred bucks you loaned him that you will never see
G                                    D                         G
Briefcase-totin' boy you know he'll never be

Chorus

Find him in the mornin’ passed out on the kitchen floor
Explains that’s where he fell down when he came in the door
After all this darlin’ ain’t it plain to see
That a whiskey drinkin’, bluegrass listenin’, Carhart wearin’, all-night roamin’ rambler he’ll always be

Chorus
