Version 1 Version 2Tab difficulty: Novice Tab creator: Intermediate 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. [Verse] 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. [Chorus] D G Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose? E G D Ramble on baby, settle down easy A D Ramble on Rose. [Verse] D E7 Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the sailor 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. [Chorus] D G Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose? E G D Ramble on baby, settle down easy A D Ramble on Rose. [Bridge] Bm C I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime, Bm C G I know this song it ain't never gonna end. Bm C I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line, D A Bm E7 A Take you to the leader of a band. [Verse] 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 Shelley, just like Frankenstein, F#m G D Clank your chains and count your change G A And try to walk the line. [Chorus] D G Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose? E7 G D Ramble on baby, settle down easy A D Ramble on Rose. [Bridge] Bm C I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime, Bm C G I know this song it ain't never gonna end. Bm C I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line, D A Bm E7 A Take you to the leader of a band. [Verse] D 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 Ramble on baby, settle down easy A D Ramble on Rose. A D Ramble on Rose.
