     E            G  A
My clothes don't fit and
   E       A     G  E  G A E A G
I have no point of view
I got a bad reputation
but I don't believe it's true
       E
I had something going but
                      D A
I blew it down the can
      G              A
Not exactly what I planned
                  E
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am

I look like a joker but
I feel like a one eyed jack
Shuffling around never
get to the top of the park
I said to the dealer
put the ace in my hand
But he couldn't give a damn
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am

I sit down thinking bout
the things I have to do
I start out fine then
I pick up something new
Stumbled through the door
that's how it all began
Now it's buried in the sand
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am

The stars shine bright when
the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than
I'm feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now
I'm second hand
I do what I can
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
