Gotta Travel On chords
Billy Grammer 1959

Capo I

G

     G
I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long

Summer's almost gone,
G7   C               G
yes, winter's comin' on

I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long,
      C           D            G
and I feel like I gotta travel on

G
Poppa writes to Johnny

But Johnny can't come home

Johnny can't come home
G7  C                 G
No, Johnny can't come home

Poppa writes to Johnny

But Johnny can't come home
           C           D              G
Cause he's been on the chain gang too long

     G
I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long

Summer's almost gone,
G7   C               G
yes, winter's comin' on

I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long,
      C           D            G
and I feel like I gotta travel on

G
High sheriff and police riding after me
                 G7   C            G
Riding after me, yes, coming after me

High sheriff and police coming after me
      C           D            G
And I feel like I gotta travel on

     G
I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long

Summer's almost gone,
G7   C               G
yes, winter's comin' on

I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long,
      C           D            G
and I feel like I gotta travel on

Want to see my honey

Want to see her bad

Want to see her bad
G7  C               G
Oh, want to see her bad

Want to see my honey

Want to see her bad,
          C
She's the best girl
     D             G
This poor boy ever had

     G
I've laid around and played around,

I've laid around and played around,

this old town too long,
      C           D            G
and I feel like I gotta travel on
