Verse 1:
N.C. E MajorE               A/EA/E
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
N.C. E MajorE                 B7B7
Beneath the neon, close up has just begun.
N.C.  E MajorE                 A/EA/E    F# minorF#m
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
N.C.   E MajorE        B7B7           E MajorE
He can't find a job with man but he has found a gun


Verse 2:
N.C.  E MajorE                 A/EA/E
Well he pulls it off, no trace of confrontation
N.C.    E MajorE           B7B7
He let the old man run out in the street.
N.C.  E MajorE             A/EA/E    F# minorF#m
But he knows soon they come, guns blazing
N.C.  E MajorE      B7B7         E MajorE
And all ready he can feel that great relief.

Chorus:
E MajorE             D/AD/A A/EA/E
Oh how many travelers get weary
E MajorE                  B7B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E MajorE                   D/AD/A  A/EA/E
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
N.C. E MajorE       B7B7       E MajorE
and fly like eagles out among the stars.


Verse 3:
N.C. E MajorE                 A/EA/E
He pictures the arrival of their consternation
N.C.   E MajorE              B7B7
Sees that old familiar anger in their tears
N.C. E MajorE                      A/EA/E   F# minorF#m
He knows as they pull their guns and shoot this loser
N.C.    E MajorE       B7B7       E MajorE  A/EA/E
They'll be aiming at the demon in their eyes.


Chorus:
E MajorE             D/AD/A A/EA/E
Oh how many travelers get weary
E MajorE                  B7B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E MajorE                   D/AD/A  A/EA/E
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
N.C. E MajorE       B7B7      E MajorE   A/EA/E E MajorE
And fly like eagles out among the stars


Verse 4:
N.C. E MajorE               A/EA/E
The evening news it carries all the details
N.C.  E MajorE              B7B7
As he dies in every living room in town
N.C. E MajorE           E7E7    A/EA/E   F# minorF#m
And in a home a bottle is thrown in anger
N.C.  E MajorE          B7B7       E MajorE
And his father cries "We'll never live this down."


Chorus:
E MajorE             D/AD/A A/EA/E
Oh how many travelers get weary
E MajorE                  B7B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E MajorE                   D/AD/A  A/EA/E
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
N.C. E MajorE        B7B7      E MajorE   A/EA/E
and fly like eagles out among the stars and


Outro:
E MajorE        B7B7
