Ramblin' Round
written by Woody Guthrie
as performed by the Indigo Girls & Ani DiFranco
on Til We Out Number Em from Righteous Babe Records
(A live tribute to Woody Guthrie recorded in 1996)
You can play this song in standard tuning, but to get the
bridge and the general slide sound right (or to play along
with the CD), you need to tune to a D-major chord.
Basically, you drop the B string and both E strings down a
full step, and the G string down a half step:
E --> D
A === A
D === D
G -> F#
B --> A
E --> D
Then this song is pretty easy - the primary D major chord
is just all open strings, and the other chords are barres
at the 5th, 7th, and 12th frets respectively.
D(open) G A D(high)
D |--0--|------5-----|--7--|--12--|
A |--0--|------5-----|--7--|--12--|
D |--0--|------5-----|--7--|--12--|
F#|--0--|------5-----|--7--|--12--|
A |--0--|------5-----|--7--|--12--|
D |--0--|------5-----|--7--|--12--|
It bears mentioning that this song is in 3/4 time.
The basic verse pattern is:
D-A-A-D-D-G
The chorus is:
A-D-A-D
And the bridge is:
D(high)-A-G-D(open)
INTRO
D(open) x 7 (arpeggiating)
VERSE:
D A
Rambled 'round the ...
A D
Rambled 'round the ....
D G
I never see a ..... . ....
CHORUS:
A D
(As) I go ramblin' 'round, boys
A D
As I go ramblin' 'round
VERSE
D
My sweetheart...
CHORUS
VERSE -- Ani's verse is the same as the
first two with these minor changes:
D (just hit the bass note first)
The peaches...
D(high)
...bending down...
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
D(high), A, G, D(open) x 2
VERSE
D
Sometimes a fruit...
CHORUS
VERSE (same chords, implied)
D
I wish that...
CHORUS
VERSE (a capella, obviously)
My mother prayed...
-----------------------------
There you go. Not a very tough song. You could also tune to an
E major chord and just transpose it to E-B-A instead of D-A-G.
Enjoy!
