Capo 3

Intro
D MajorD - Bm7Bm7

*The intro riff is the same basic riff used throughout the song. Hammer on and off the E MajorE string
on the D MajorD chord (alternating between D MajorD and Dsus2Dsus2), and hammer on the D MajorD string on the Bm7Bm7 as soon
as you make the chord, then hammer on and off on the BB string (alternating between Bm7Bm7 and B7sus2).

Here's the basic idea, as well as the weird way he plays the E minor 7Em7 in the final line of each verse
    Bm7Bm7  Em7*
e|-------2------0----------------------|
BB|-----2h3------3----------------------|
G+G|-------2------0----------------------|
D MajorD|-----2h4------4----------------------|
A augmentedA|-------2------2----------------------|
E MajorE|--------------0----------------------|

Verse 1
D MajorD         Bm7Bm7
I see the sunrise creeping in
D MajorD              Bm7Bm7
Everything changes like the desert wind
Em7*              A augmentedA
Here she comes and then she's gone again


Chorus
D MajorD          Bm7Bm7
I'm just a traveller on this earth
D MajorD            Bm7Bm7
Shut my heart behind the pocket of my shirt
G+G                E minor 7Em7
I just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
D MajorD                 Bm7Bm7
?Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
D MajorD             Bm7Bm7
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
D MajorD            Bm7Bm7
Where I'm going but I've got to go
G+G               E minor 7Em7
?Cause every turn reveals some other road
     D MajorD          Bm7Bm7
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller

Verse 2
My heartbeat's rhythm is a lonesome sound
Just like the rubber turning on the ground
Always lost and nowhere bound


Chorus


Bridge
G+G
When I'm gone
E minor 7Em7            G+G
Somebody else will have to feel this wrong
E minor 7Em7            G+G
Somebody else will have to sing this song
E minor 7Em7             A augmentedA
Somebody else will have to sing along, sing along


Chorus
