E   A   E

[Chorus]
A               D           A
Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             E                 A
may all your rambles bring you joy.
 A               D           A
Yes, Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             E                  A
may all your rambles bring you joy.

[Verse 1]
A        E               A
He was a man and a friend always.
A        E               A
We rambled 'round in the hard, old days.
A                 D        A
He never cared if I had no dough.
A        E               A
We rambled 'round in the rain or snow.

[Chorus]
A               D           A
Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             Em                 A
may all your rambles bring you joy.
 A               D           A
Yes, Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             E                  A
may all your rambles bring you joy.

[Verse 2]
A        E               A
Late one night in a jungle camp,
A        E               A
the weather it was cold and damp.
A                 D        A
He got the chills and he got them bad.
A        E               A
I lost the only friend I had.

[Chorus]
A               D           A
Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             Em                 A
may all your rambles bring you joy.
 A               D           A
Yes, Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             E                  A
may all your rambles bring you joy.

[Verse 3]
A        E               A
He left me here to  ramble on.
A        E               A
My ramblin' pal is dead and gone.
A                 D        A
If, when we die, we go some where,
A        E               A
I'll bet you a dollar he's a-ramblin' there.

[Chorus]
A               D           A
Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             Em                 A
may all your rambles bring you joy.
 A               D           A
Yes, Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
             E                  A
may all your rambles bring you joy.

[Outro]
             E                  A
May all your rambles bring you joy. [Repeat once and fade]
