People I'm here [A]to tell you I'm ragged but I'm r[E]ight
I'm a tramp and a gambler I [A]stay out late at [A7]night
But a [D]porterhouse [D#dim]steak three times a [A]day for my [F#]board
[B] That's more than any loafer in this [E]big town can afford
CHORUS
[A]Big electric fan to keep me [E]cool while I sleep
Little baby boy plain' [A]round daddy's [A7]feet
I'm a [D]rambler and a [D#dim]gambler I've [A]lead a dirty [F#7]life
[B]People I tell you I'm [E]ragged but I'm [A]right
Repeat progression over solos
[A]Well then I got married I [E]knew I'd settle down
And I built a little love nest right [A]here I'm my home-[A7]town
[D]Now I'v got a [D#dim]family [A]one that I'm proud [F#7]of
[B] I know I'll be happy 'cause [E]they're the ones I love
CHORUS
Outro
