Out Among The Stars chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

G+G            C majorC
It's Midnight at a liquor store in Texas
G+G                D7D7
Closing time another day is done
    G+G                 C majorC   A7A7
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
     G+G       D7D7        G+G
He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun

                    C majorC
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
    G+G                D7D7
That he lets the old man run out in the street
   G+G                    C majorC   A7A7
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing
 G+G      D7D7        G+G
already he can feel that great relief

             FF  C majorC
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
G+G                  D7D7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
G+G                  C majorC
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
  G+G        D7D7      G+G
And fly like eagles out among the stars

                C majorC
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
     G+G              D7D7
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
  G+G                    C majorC  A7A7
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
      G+G       D7D7       G+G
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives

Repeat #3

                C majorC
Evening news it carries all the details
  G+G              D7D7
He dies in every living room in town
  G+G              C majorC    A7A7
And in his own a bottle's thrown in anger
    G+G         D7D7       G+G
And his father cries we'll never live this down

             FF  C majorC
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
G+G                  D7D7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
G+G                  C majorC
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
  G+G        D7D7      G+G
And fly like eagles out among the stars

          D7D7      G+G
