Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
D MajorD
I grew up in a little town

A augmentedA southern mix of lost and found
A augmentedA                     G+G
Where most folks seem to stick around
D MajorD
But I could hear the highway song

I'd sit out on the dock till dawn
A augmentedA                  G+G
And dream about the great beyond

Chorus:
(I dreamed that I was)
D MajorD
A augmentedA world traveler
G+G
Set me loose to find my way
B minorBm
Just get me out on the road someday
         A augmentedA
With my sails unfurled
D MajorD
So many mysteries
G+G
I wanted to unravel
B minorBm              D MajorD
If I could travel the world


Verse 2:
D MajorD
Soon enough I had my way

I saw the world the Lord has made
A augmentedA              G+G
Mostly from the interstate
D MajorD
But I had hardly seen a thing

Until I gave a golden ring
A augmentedA                    G+G
To the one who gave her heart to me

Chorus:
(And I became)
D MajorD
A augmentedA world traveler
G+G
That's the day I hit the road
B minorBm
'Cause I walked the hills of the human soul
       A augmentedA
Of a tender girl
D MajorD
I'm a world traveler
G+G
She opened the gate and took my hand
B minorBm
And led me into the mystic land
       A augmentedA
Where her galaxies swirl
D MajorD
So many mysteries
G+G
I never will unravel
B minorBm
I want to travel the world


Bridge:
D MajorD
Take a left at the end of my street
B minorBm
Just a few doors down
D MajorD
Up the hill and into the trees
B minorBm
There's a hole in the ground
D MajorD
Where we traveled the caverns so deep
B minorBm
We wandered the wonders so wide
D MajorD
It was right beneath our feet
B minorBm       D MajorD
All this time, all this time


Verse 3:
D MajorD
Tonight I saw the children in their rooms

Little flowers all in bloom
A augmentedA               G+G
Burning suns and silver moon
D MajorD
And somehow in that starry sky

The image of the Maker lies
A augmentedA                 G+G
Right here beneath my roof tonight


Chorus:
(So hold on tight, I'm a)
D MajorD
World traveler
G+G
Pack yours bags and dig down deep
B minorBm
Let's ride the storms and sail the seas
        A augmentedA
To the distant pole
D MajorD
I'm a world traveler
 G+G
Into these uncharted lands
 B minorBm
To blaze a trail in the vast expanse
 A augmentedA
Of the heart and soul
 D MajorD
In the grace of the God of peace
 G+G
Let's wade into the battle
 D MajorD
Come on, come on with me
G+G
And get up in that saddle
 D MajorD
There's a million mysteries
 G+G
I never will unravel
B minorBm                 D MajorD
Come on, let's travel the world
