BUMMING AROUND

                  (Hank Thompson)


C                                          G7
I GOT AN OLD SLOUCH HAT, GOT MY ROLL ON MY SHOULDER

I'M AS FREE AS THE BREEZE, AND I DO AS I PLEASE.
                C
JUST A'BUMMIN' AROUND.


                                          G7
I GOT A MILLION FRIENDS, I DON'T FEEL ANY OLDER.

I'VE GOT NOTHIN' TO LOSE, NOT EVEN THE BLUES,
                C
JUST A'BUMMIN' AROUND.


(Chorus)
     F
WHENEVER WORRIES START TO BOTHERIN' ME

I GRAB MY COAT, MY OLD SLOUCH HAT,
     G7
AND HIT THE TRAIL AGAIN, YOU SEE.


              C                                G7
I AIN'T GOT A DIME, AND I DON'T CARE WHERE I'M GOIN'
            
I'M AS FREE AS THE BREEZE, AND I DO AS I PLEASE,
                C
JUST A'BUMMINâ'AROUND.
