Key:
Eb Ebmaj7 Eb6 Ebmaj7 [Verse 1]
Eb Eb I'm just a roustabout, shifting from town to town
Db Gm C7 No job can hold me down, I'm just a knock-around guy
Ab Gm There's a lot of space beneath that sky
Fm Bb7 Eb6 Ebmaj7 Till I find my place there's no doubt
Gb Bb7 Eb I'll be a rovin' roustabout [Verse 2]
Eb Eb Call me the carefree kind, I wander with the breeze
Db Gm C7 My mind and heart's at ease, doing what pleases me best
Continues after the ad
Ab Gm Gotta keep-a movin' east or west
Fm Bb7 Eb6 Ebmaj7 Till I find my place there's no doubt
Gb Bb7 Eb I'll be a rovin' roustabout [Bridge]
Ab And even if a pretty girl
Gm should catch my eye
Ab I'll give her a quick "hello"
Gm C7 Fm Bb7 and a fast goodbye [Verse 3]
Eb Eb I'll go the way I want, driftin' just like the sand
Db Gm C7 Doin' what job I can, changing my plans as I choose
Ab Gm Long as I keep happy I can't lose
Fm Bb7 Eb6 Ebmaj7 Till I find my place there's no doubt
Gb Bb7 Eb I'll be a rovin' roustabout
Gb Bb7 Eb I'll be a rovin' roustabout
Gb Bb7 Eb I'll be a rovin' roustabout
Gb Bb7 Eb I'll be a rovin' roustabout
Gb Bb7 Eb Rovin', rovin', rovin' roustabout
