Traveling Poor Boy chords by Brent Cobb

Chords with lyrics

Verse
E MajorE
Old man in the moon, shining in my rearview
A augmentedA       BB      E MajorE
Leaving that Tennessee town
   A augmentedA
You're all I have to talk to, don't know
E MajorE
where my dog ran off to
     F#7F#7             B7B7
But he's gone, and has been for a while now

Verse
E MajorE
Where I'm bound, well I haven't figured it out
A augmentedA           BB        E MajorE
I'm sure I'll find my usual old wrong way
  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
The cost to leave ain't cheap, I don't need no
eat or sleep
   F#7F#7            BB
Even if I did, I lost my job, so I don't got much

pay (but it's okay)

    A augmentedA         BB     E MajorE
Cause anymore would burn a hole in my pocket
       A augmentedA      BB     E MajorE
Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke
           A augmentedA     BB     E MajorE
Besides this pair of jeans is already threaded, tearin' at the seams
  F#7F#7          BB
The last that I need is a pant leg full of smoke
   A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
Gonna ride until my ride quits riding
        A augmentedA       BB      E MajorE
Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off
         A augmentedA      BB
Yessir, I'll be a sight when I get where
E MajorE
they're looking mean and lying
   F#7F#7
But tonight, I'm feeling free and friendly,
BB             E MajorE
Barely scraping change, waving goodbye

Verse
       E MajorE
Say, old man moon, I hear that you get blue too
  A augmentedA        BB       E MajorE
It must be lonesome way up in the sky
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
The stars seem mighty proud if I were you I'd hate a cloud
    F#7F#7             BB
All they ever do is hang around and cry
         E MajorE
Guess it ain't a shame to be rolling like a slow train
   A augmentedA      BB    E MajorE     (E MajorE)
Or glowing like only you do,(I'll tell you what)
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
I'll keep right on track, if you keep shining
    E MajorE
bright like that
  F#7F#7             B7B7
I bet before we know it, this journey will be through (and the hard times too)

    A augmentedA         BB     E MajorE
Cause anymore would burn a hole in my pocket
       A augmentedA      BB     E MajorE
Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke
           A augmentedA     BB        E MajorE
Besides this pair of jeans is already threaded, tearin' at the seams
  F#7F#7          BB
The last that I need is a pant leg full of smoke
   A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
Gonna ride until my ride quits riding
        A augmentedA       BB      E MajorE
Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off
         A augmentedA       BB
Yes sir I'll be a sight when I get to where
E MajorE
their looking mean and lying
   F#7F#7                 B7B7
But tonight I'm feeling free and friendly, barely
B7B7             E MajorE
scraping change, waving goodbye!

     E MajorE       E MajorE
Wavin? goodbye! Wavin? goodbye?
