Ramble on Rose Chords & Lyrics by Grateful Dead
Ramble on Rose
guitar chords lyrics
Tab difficulty: Novice
Tab creator: Intermediate
The previous version was good.....but slightly inaccurate in terms of chord switching.
The D# and G# were removed because you can make it sound almost as good, with less
changes and creative strumming or note fillers. Play around with it a bit and you
will see what I mean. I also tabbed out the entire song, for ease of learning.
D E7
Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand,
F#m G D
Just like Billy Sunday,

In a shotgun ragtime band,

Just like New York City, just like Jerico,

Pace the halls and climb the walls
G A
And get out when they blow.
