Ragged But Right Chords

                      RAGGED BUT RIGHT
A                               E
People I'm here to tell you I'm ragged but I'm right
                            A                A7
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night
      D           D#dim               A          F#
But a porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
B                                     E
  That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford


CHORUS
A                           E
Big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
                       A             A7
Little baby boy plain' round daddy's feet
      D             D#dim        A            F#7
I'm a rambler and a gambler I've lead a dirty life
B                     E              A
People I tell you I'm ragged but I'm right


Repeat progression over solos

A                         E
Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down
                                     A                A7
And I built a little love nest right here I'm my home-town
D             D#dim    A                  F#7
Now I'v got a family   one that I'm proud of
B                            E
 I know I'll be happy 'cause they're the ones I love

I'm a rambler and a gambler I've lead a dirty life
B                    E              A      F#7
Folks I tell you I'm ragged but I'm right

Folks I tell you I'm ragged but I'm right
